             Summary: Password Auth fails to forbid access when it should
                 Key: AIRFLOW-3095
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-3095
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: authentication
    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
            Reporter: Victor


Hi,

 

I encountered the following very strange situation that looks like a big security bug:
 * I started a new instance of airflow with a database (using the puckel docker image for the record) and with the airflow.contrib.auth.backends.password_auth backend.
 * I created a user on it by following [https://airflow.apache.org/security.html#password]
 * I connected to the instance with my browser and I was asked to login
 * I logged on the airflow instance, played with it a bit,
 * I destroyed the instance as well as its database
 * I created a new instance, still with the airflow.contrib.auth.backends.password_auth backend.
 * I connected to the instance with my browser and I was NOT asked to login even though there was no user created on it!

I think something is missing and the cookie of the browser (or whatever) is reused and trusted as if it was enough to authenticate the user.
