Missing Authentication for Critical Function in Apache Airflow

Critical9.8CVE-2021-38540 · Published May 24, 2022 · updated Sep 11, 2024

The variable import endpoint was not protected by authentication in Airflow >=2.0.0, <2.1.3. This allowed unauthenticated users to hit that endpoint to add/modify Airflow variables used in DAGs, potentially resulting in a denial of service, information disclosure or remote code execution. This issue affects Apache Airflow >=2.0.0, <2.1.3.
