Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68971 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-2026-68971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68971/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68971","record":{"aliases":["BIT-airflow-2026-68971","CLEANSTART-2026-UI77772","ECHO-2ade-2881-4886","GHSA-5247-m8w9-2v4m","MINI-cf5j-pjr6-gxw4","MINI-q57r-8qwf-8c4f","PYSEC-2026-3994"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Airflow","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users in multi-team deployments can bypass team restrictions to trigger other teams' DAGs and read their XCom values.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"airflow","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Apache Airflow's asset materialization endpoint (`POST /api/v2/assets/{asset_id}/materialize`) and the XCom result check on `wait_dag_run_until_finished` authorized the target Dag without its team, unlike every other authorization site. A team-aware auth manager distinguishes a team-scoped Dag from a global one by that field -- the Keycloak auth manager, for example, checks the `DAG` resource instead of `DAG:\u003cteam\u003e` -- so the team-scoped permission that should gate the request was never consulted. In a deployment running multi-team mode with a team-aware auth manager, an authenticated user in one team could trigger Dag runs belonging to another team, supplying their own `dag_run_id` and `conf`, and could read another team's XCom values. Deployments using the FAB auth manager are unaffected, as it has no multi-team support. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which resolves the Dag's team at both sites.","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: Cross-team authorization bypass in the asset materialization and dag-run result endpoints","id":"CVE-2026-68971","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 NiFi: Missing Authorization for Components Referenced by Parameter Context Updates","id":"CVE-2026-68979"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"airflow","purl":"pkg:bitnami/airflow","source":"BIT-airflow-2026-68971"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5247-m8w9-2v4m"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","source":"GHSA-5247-m8w9-2v4m"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["3.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","source":"PYSEC-2026-3994"}],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Airflow: Values of a list-shaped Variable are not masked in task logs and the Rendered Templates UI","id":"CVE-2026-68970"},"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 in multi-team deployments can bypass team restrictions to trigger other teams' DAGs and read their XCom values.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68971/"}
