[PR] Validate id_token issuer and audience in the FAB Authentik provider [airflow]
potiuk opened a new pull request, #72645:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/72645
The `authentik` OAuth path in the FAB auth manager decoded the `id_token`
without any `claims_options`, so authlib validated only the time-based
claims. Neither the issuer nor the audience was checked.
A provider signs the tokens of every application registered with it using a
single key set, so a valid signature only establishes that the provider
minted the token — not that it was minted for Airflow. A token issued for a
different application registered with the same provider was accepted and
authenticated its subject as an Airflow user.
This pins:
* `aud` to the configured `client_id`
* `iss` to the issuer advertised in the provider's OpenID metadata
If no issuer can be resolved, verification now fails with an actionable
error rather than falling back to an audience-only check — the configured
key set may sign for more than one issuer, so an audience-only check would
still accept a token from an untrusted one. Deployments whose metadata does
not publish an `issuer` can set it explicitly in the provider's
`client_kwargs`; this is documented.
This mirrors the `claims_options` already applied on the `azure` path in the
same file.
### Tests
Six tests covering a correctly addressed token, a token for another
application, a token from another issuer, the fail-closed path (asserted
with a *correct* audience and a *wrong* issuer, which is the shape an
audience-only fallback would let through), and the configured-issuer
override both accepting a valid token and rejecting a foreign issuer.
The three rejection tests fail without the source change.
