CVE-2026-59243
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The FAB auth manager's Azure AD OAuth login defaulted `verify_signature=False` when decoding the ID token, so an attacker able to present a forged or unsigned (`alg:none`) ID token to the OAuth callback could bypass authentication and log in as an arbitrary user, including one holding the Admin role (CWE-347). Deployments running the FAB auth manager with the Azure AD OAuth login path under its default configuration are affected; the Authentik path already defaulted to `True`. This issue affects `apache-airflow-providers-fab` before 3.7.3. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow-providers-fab` 3.7.3, which defaults `verify_signature=True`.

"value": "El inicio de sesión OAuth de Azure AD del gestor de autenticación FAB establecía por defecto “verify_signature=False” al decodificar el token de ID, por lo que un atacante capaz de presentar un token de ID falsificado o sin firmar (“alg:none”) a la devolución de llamada OAuth podría omitir la autenticación e iniciar sesión como un usuario arbitrario, incluyendo uno con el rol de Administrador (CWE-347). Las implementaciones que ejecutan el gestor de autenticación FAB con la ruta de inicio de sesión OAuth de Azure AD bajo su configuración predeterminada se ven afectadas; la ruta de Authentik ya establecía por defecto “True”. Este problema afecta a “apache-airflow-providers-fab” anterior a 3.7.3. Se aconseja a los usuarios actualizar a “apache-airflow-providers-fab” 3.7.3, que establece por defecto “verify_signature=True”."
