A bug in Apache Airflow's XCom PATCH endpoint PATCH /api/v2/xcomEntries/{key} allowed an authenticated UI/API user with XCom write permission on a Dag to set XCom entries under reserved key names (e.g. return_value) that the matching POST endpoint already validated against FORBIDDEN_XCOM_KEYS. The endpoint also accepted serialized payload shapes the triggerer's deserializer treats as code; combined, this allowed RCE on the triggerer when the affected task next deferred. Affects deployments where untrusted users have XCom write permission on Dags that defer to the triggerer. This is a fix-bypass of CVE-2026-33858: PR #64148 added the FORBIDDEN_XCOM_KEYS validator only on the POST/set path; the PATCH path was not covered. Users who already upgraded for CVE-2026-33858 should additionally upgrade to apache-airflow 3.2.2 or later to cover the PATCH-path bypass.
