CVE-2026-59245

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

In the Apache Airflow FAB auth manager, a DAG whose `dag_id` is `DAGs` collided with the global all-DAGs permission resource name produced by `resource_name()`, so a user granted per-DAG `access_control` on that one DAG was silently granted the global all-DAGs permission (privilege escalation). The escalation triggers when a DAG named `DAGs` exists and a lower-privileged user is given per-DAG access to it, granting that user read/edit access to every DAG. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow-providers-fab` 3.7.2 or later, which disambiguates the resource-name collision.

      "value": "En el gestor de autenticación FAB de Apache Airflow, un DAG cuyo “dag_id” es “DAGs” colisionó con el nombre de recurso de permiso global para todos los DAGs producido por “resource_name()”, por lo que a un usuario al que se le concedió “access_control” por DAG en ese DAG específico se le concedió silenciosamente el permiso global para todos los DAGs (escalada de privilegios). La escalada se activa cuando existe un DAG llamado “DAGs” y a un usuario con privilegios inferiores se le otorga acceso por DAG a este, otorgando a ese usuario acceso de lectura/edición a cada DAG. Se aconseja a los usuarios actualizar a “apache-airflow-providers-fab” 3.7.2 o posterior, lo que desambigua la colisión de nombres de recursos."
