CVE-2026-34538
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Apache Airflow versions 3.0.0 through 3.1.8 DagRun wait endpoint returns XCom result values even to users who only have DAG Run read permissions, such as the Viewer role.This behavior conflicts with the FAB RBAC model, which treats XCom as a separate protected resource, and with the security model documentation that defines the Viewer role as read-only. Airflow uses the FAB Auth Manager to manage access control on a per-resource basis. The Viewer role is intended to be read-only by default, and the security model documentation defines Viewer users as those who can inspect DAGs without accessing sensitive execution results. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.2.0 which resolves this issue.

"value": "Las versiones de Apache Airflow 3.0.0 a 3.1.8, el endpoint DagRun wait devuelve valores de resultado de XCom incluso a usuarios que solo tienen permisos de lectura de DagRun, como el rol de Visor. Este comportamiento entra en conflicto con el modelo RBAC de FAB, que trata a XCom como un recurso protegido separado, y con la documentación del modelo de seguridad que define el rol de Visor como de solo lectura.\n\nAirflow utiliza el FAB Auth Manager para gestionar el control de acceso por recurso. El rol de Visor está destinado a ser de solo lectura por defecto, y la documentación del modelo de seguridad define a los usuarios Visor como aquellos que pueden inspeccionar DAGs sin acceder a resultados de ejecución sensibles.\n\nSe recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a Apache Airflow 3.2.0, que resuelve este problema."
