CVE-2026-101031
Published:November 09, 2026
Updated:November 09, 2026
The "example_dag_decorator" example Dag shipped with Apache Airflow validated an IP address fetched over HTTP with Python's "ipaddress" module and then placed it into a shell command. "ipaddress" accepts IPv6 zone identifiers containing arbitrary characters, so when example Dags are loaded ("load_examples" enabled), a user who can trigger that Dag with a custom "url" parameter could point it at a server whose response injects shell commands run on the worker. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-54941; users who upgraded for CVE-2025-54941 should upgrade again. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.4.0 or later, or to disable example Dags ("load_examples = False"), which is recommended for production.
