Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-49298 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- apache-airflow-core (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2\n- apache-airflow-core (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2\n- apache-airflow-core (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2\n- airflow (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.2\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-2026-49298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-49298/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-49298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-49298/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-49298","record":{"aliases":["BIT-airflow-2026-49298","ECHO-d5b1-8a54-bb7b","GHSA-5j6p-jrrm-6x94","MINI-x9xq-mxvv-5c79","PYSEC-2026-2358"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Airflow","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with Kubernetes read access can extract JWT tokens from pod specs to impersonate workers and modify workflow data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"airflow","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-538","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or Directory"}],"description":"A bug in Apache Airflow's KubernetesExecutor caused JWT tokens used by worker pods to authenticate against the Execution API to be passed to the worker container as command-line arguments visible in the pod spec. An authenticated UI/API user with Kubernetes read-only access to the cluster (e.g. `pods/get` in the Airflow namespace) could harvest the JWT from `kubectl describe pod` output and then call state-mutating Execution API endpoints — triggering Dag runs, clearing runs, reading or writing Variables / Connections / XComs — as if they were a running task. Affects deployments using the `KubernetesExecutor`. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.2.2 or later. This is the airflow-core half of the same vulnerability addressed by [CVE-2026-27173](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-27173), which shipped the apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes side of the fix. Deployments that already upgraded `apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes` to 10.17.0 or later per the CVE-2026-27173 advisory should additionally upgrade `apache-airflow` to 3.2.2 or later to close the core-side surface — the two fixes are complementary, not duplicates.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache Airflow: JWT Token Exposure in KubernetesExecutor Command-Line Arguments","id":"CVE-2026-49298","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"apache:airflow","products":["apache:airflow"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"OpenStack Neutron has an Incorrect Authorization issue","id":"CVE-2026-49299"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["3.2.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"airflow","purl":"pkg:bitnami/airflow","source":"BIT-airflow-2026-49298"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.2.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5j6p-jrrm-6x94"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.2.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow-core","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow-core","source":"GHSA-5j6p-jrrm-6x94"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.2.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow-core","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow-core","source":"PYSEC-2026-2358"}],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Airflow Google provider allows path traversal through GCS object names","id":"CVE-2026-49297"},"products":["Apache Airflow"],"published":"2026-06-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow's Experimental API Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-13927","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2020-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow Command Injection","id":"CVE-2020-11978","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2020-07-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow: DAG author RCE on webserver via unrestricted import_string() in BaseSerialization.deserialize()","id":"CVE-2026-33264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow: Privilege escalation using airflow logs","id":"CVE-2023-25754","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow, Apache Airflow MySQL Provider: Arbitrary file read via MySQL provider in Apache Airflow","id":"CVE-2023-22884","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow Pinot provider allowed Command Injection","id":"CVE-2022-38649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airlfow Pig Provider RCE","id":"CVE-2022-40189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-02","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with Kubernetes read access can extract JWT tokens from pod specs to impersonate workers and modify workflow data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-49298/"}
