CVE-2026-33858 Details
Description
Dag Authors, who normally should not be able to execute code in the webserver context could craft XCom payload causing the webserver to execute arbitrary code. Since Dag Authors are already highly trusted, severity of this issue is Low. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.2.0, which resolves this issue.
A vulnerability exists in Apache Airflow versions 3.1.8 prior to 3.2.0, allowing Dag Authors to execute arbitrary code in the webserver context by crafting XCom payloads. This issue arises from an unsafe deserialization via legacy serialization keys, which Dag Authors, despite their trusted status, should not be able to exploit.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.2.0, which addresses this vulnerability.
