Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-54550 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0\n- airflow (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54550/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54550/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-54550","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54550/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-54550","record":{"aliases":["BIT-airflow-2025-54550","ECHO-968f-a05c-4a8b","GHSA-q2hg-643c-gw8h","MINI-8chf-v58v-vmm7","MINI-pg3r-qfr6-3c2x","PYSEC-2026-2353"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Airflow","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with XCom modification access can execute arbitrary code on workers if they use a specific unsafe example DAG pattern.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"airflow","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The example example_xcom that was included in airflow documentation implemented unsafe pattern of reading value\nfrom xcom in the way that could be exploited to allow UI user who had access to modify XComs to perform arbitrary\nexecution of code on the worker.
