# CVE-2026-46764: Apache Airflow: Event Log detail endpoint bypasses DAG-scoped event log permission filter

> Authenticated users can bypass DAG-scoped permissions to read audit logs from other DAGs by enumerating event log IDs.

- **Severity:** Medium 4.3 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Over the internet
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 1 Jun 2026
- **Updated:** 2 Jun 2026
- **Also known as:** BIT-airflow-2026-46764, ECHO-b9e9-15f1-bf82, GHSA-qphr-3mvq-v466, MINI-6cxr-7h4w-jm2g, MINI-m5fc-354v-7v8q, PYSEC-2026-2354

## What is CVE-2026-46764?

CVE-2026-46764 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Apache Airflow, published on 1 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Event Log detail endpoint `GET /api/v2/eventLogs/{event_log_id}` in Apache Airflow fetched audit-log rows directly by numeric ID after only the generic Audit Log permission check, while the collection endpoint `GET /api/v2/eventLogs` applied per-Dag scoping. An authenticated UI/API user with audit-log read permission for one Dag could retrieve audit-log entries for any other Dag by guessing or enumerating the numeric event log ID. Affects deployments that rely on per-Dag audit-log scoping. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.2.2 or later.

Weakness: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key)

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2
- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2
- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
