CVSS Release:
CVE-2026-82310: Apache Airflow FAB provider: deactivating a user account does not stop tokens issued to that account before deactivation. Password authentication correctly rejects the disabled account, but the Core API continues to accept an existing, unexpired token naming it, and lets that token mint a replacement — so the account keeps its role-scoped access indefinitely after an administrator has disabled it. The user replays their own legitimate credential; no signature forgery or privilege escalation is involved, and the access stays within the roles the account already held. Affects deployments using Airflow 3 with the FAB auth manager and Core API token authentication, where an administrator deactivates an account whose row remains in the database and whose previously issued token has not expired. The trigger is administrative deactivation as a containment action, which silently fails to contain. Users of apache-airflow-providers-fab are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.0 or later, which rejects tokens naming a deactivated account.
The exploitability of CVE-2026-82310 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-82310.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-82310, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-82310, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
