Published: 12/21/2023Modified: 5/20/2025

Also known as:GHSA-6m9r-7wrx-xmr6BIT-airflow-2023-49920PYSEC-2023-266

Description

Apache Airflow, version 2.7.0 through 2.7.3, has a vulnerability that allows an attacker to trigger a DAG in a GET request without CSRF validation. As a result, it was possible for a malicious website opened in the same browser - by the user who also had Airflow UI opened - to trigger the execution of DAGs without the user's consent. Users are advised to upgrade to version 2.8.0 or later which is not affected
