Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-02-17 14:15 – Updated: 2025-02-13 16:27
VLAI?
Summary
The lineage endpoint of the deprecated Experimental API was not protected by authentication in Airflow 2.0.0. This allowed unauthenticated users to hit that endpoint. This is low-severity issue as the attacker needs to be aware of certain parameters to pass to that endpoint and even after can just get some metadata about a DAG and a Task. This issue affects Apache Airflow 2.0.0.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
