CVE-2026-86533

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability in team-alembic AshAuthentication and AshAuthentication Phoenix allows a revoked session to remain fully authenticated. A resource configured with session_identifier :jti and require_token_presence_for_authentication? disabled stores its session value as <jti>:<subject>, but the session readers discard the jti and pass the bare subject, never consulting the revocation record. As a result, a session captured before sign-out keeps working.

Risk Assessment

A session captured before sign-out remains valid, allowing an attacker to retain access to the victim's account despite logout. This undermines session revocation and can lead to unauthorized access.

Recommendation

Upgrade ash_authentication to version 4.15.0 or 5.0.0-rc.14 (or later) and ash_authentication_phoenix to version 2.17.4 or 3.0.0-rc.11 (or later). Verify that sessions are properly revoked after sign-out.

Original NVD description (English source)

Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability in team-alembic AshAuthentication and AshAuthentication Phoenix allows a revoked session to remain fully authenticated. A resource configured with session_identifier :jti and require_token_presence_for_authentication? disabled stores its session value as <jti>:<subject>. The jti is there so that signing out can revoke that one session. Neither reader consults it: AshAuthentication.Plug.Helpers.authenticate_resource_from_session/4 and AshAuthentication.Phoenix.LiveSession.on_mount/4 both split the value with split_identifier/2, discard the jti and pass the bare subject to AshAuthentication.subject_to_user/3, which reloads the record. The token-presence branch of each function does check its token, calling AshAuthentication.TokenResource.Actions.get_token/3 with the jti and the purpose user. Because the revocation record is never read, neither its revoked state nor its expiry constrains the session, so a session captured before sign-out keeps working. This issue affects ash_authentication: from 4.9.1 before 4.15.0 and from 5.0.0-rc.0 before 5.0.0-rc.14; ash_authentication_phoenix: from 2.10.0 before 2.17.4 and from 3.0.0-rc.0 before 3.0.0-rc.11.
