CVE-2026-40963 PUBLISHED

Apache Airflow: DAG authorization bypass on /ui/structure/structure_data

Assigner: apache
Reserved: 16.04.2026 Published: 01.06.2026 Updated: 01.06.2026

The structure_data endpoint in the Airflow UI returned external dependency graph nodes for linked Dags without checking whether the caller had read permission on those linked Dags. An authenticated UI/API user authorized for one Dag could enumerate linked Dag IDs and dependency metadata for other Dags they were not authorized to read. Affects deployments that rely on per-Dag read scoping to keep Dag dependency topology private across teams. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.2.2 or later.
