An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68968 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1\n- airflow (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 3.3.1\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-2026-68968/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68968/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68968","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68968/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68968","record":{"aliases":["BIT-airflow-2026-68968","CLEANSTART-2026-OM50067","ECHO-15a1-9bf1-c341","GHSA-j4jc-cq9h-xrhr","MINI-67mw-5rpc-r3p2","MINI-6cwc-5h8g-5cjh","PYSEC-2026-3710"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Airflow","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass authorization checks to read, pause, or cancel backfills of other Dags due to inconsistent ID parsing logic.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"airflow","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-436","name":"Interpretation Conflict"}],"description":"Apache Airflow's Backfill API authorized a request against a Dag id supplied by the caller whenever the `backfill_id` path segment failed to parse. The authorization dependency parsed it with `int()` while the route handler parsed it as pydantic's `NonNegativeInt`, which accepts values `int()` rejects (`1.0` coerces to `1`); FastAPI resolves dependencies before endpoint validation, so the two acted on different Dags. An authenticated user holding edit permission on any single Dag could therefore read, pause and cancel backfills belonging to any other Dag, including moving another Dag's queued runs to `failed`. No non-default configuration is required and backfill ids are sequential, so finding a target is trivial. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which parses the backfill id with the same type the routes declare.","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: Authorization bypass in the Backfill API through conflicting interpretations of the backfill id","id":"CVE-2026-68968","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"apache:airflow","products":["apache:airflow"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Apache Airflow: Bulk Variable and Connection endpoints record secret values in the audit log in cleartext","id":"CVE-2026-68969"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"airflow","purl":"pkg:bitnami/airflow","source":"BIT-airflow-2026-68968"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-j4jc-cq9h-xrhr"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","source":"GHSA-j4jc-cq9h-xrhr"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","source":"PYSEC-2026-3710"}],"prev":{"headline":"Out-of-bounds Write in Bendix EC80 Brake ECU","id":"CVE-2026-68967"},"products":["Apache Airflow"],"published":"2026-08-12","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-16","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass authorization checks to read, pause, or cancel backfills of other Dags due to inconsistent ID parsing logic.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68968/"}
