Apache Airflow allows code execution through unsafe serialized DAG deserialization

Apache Airflow

CVE-2026-33264 · Published Jul 7, 2026 · updated Sep 4, 2026

Critical9.8
Fix: upgrade to 3.3.0 or later
GitHub advisory

A bug in BaseSerialization.deserialize() allowed unrestricted import_string() of attacker-controlled class paths when the Scheduler / API Server loaded a serialized DAG: a DAG author could embed a malicious trigger into a DAG to gain remote code execution on the API Server / Scheduler process, crossing the Airflow security boundary that DAG-author code must never execute in those processes. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.0 or later. As a defense-in-depth mitigation, deployments where DAG-author trust is limited can restrict the [core] allowed_deserialization_classes config to a narrow allowlist.
