    {

      "value": "A bug in the login redirect route in Apache Airflow allowed authenticated users to craft URLs that bypassed the `is_safe_url` check, enabling redirection from a trusted Airflow domain to an attacker-controlled origin. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.2.2 or later. As a defense-in-depth mitigation, deployment operators can place Airflow behind a reverse proxy that strips off-domain `next=` query parameters before they reach the login endpoint."

      "lang": "es",
      "value": "Un error en la ruta de redirección de inicio de sesión en Apache Airflow permitió a usuarios autenticados crear URLs que eludían la verificación 'is_safe_url', lo que permitía la redirección desde un dominio de Airflow de confianza a un origen controlado por un atacante. Se aconseja a los usuarios actualizar a 'apache-airflow' 3.2.2 o posterior. Como una mitigación de defensa en profundidad, los operadores de despliegue pueden colocar Airflow detrás de un proxy inverso que elimina los parámetros de consulta 'next=' fuera del dominio antes de que lleguen al punto final de inicio de sesión."
