How to fix?

Upgrade apache-airflow to version 2.7.0 or higher.

Overview

apache-airflow is a platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation. An authenticated user can continue accessing Airflow webserver even after the password of the user has been reset by the admin - up until the expiry of the session of the user.

Note: Other than manually cleaning the session database (for database session backend), or changing the secure_key and restarting the webserver, there are no mechanisms to force-logout the user.
