Summary

Apache Airflow does not reject reserved serialization keys in a Dag run's `conf`, so a user allowed to trigger a Dag that uses a deadline alert with an asynchronous callback can submit a `conf` that, once the deadline is missed, either repeatedly crashes the scheduler or is rebuilt into objects inside the Triggerer.
