Summary

Apache Airflow deployments that use deadline alerts are affected. A Dag author can cause classes on Airflow's deserialization allow list to be constructed in the scheduler and API server, using arguments the author controls.

Written by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5 from the sources below. Verify against them.

Read the original description

Apache Airflow rebuilt deadline alert fields through generic deserialization, which imports and instantiates the class named in the serialized Dag, in the scheduler and API server. A Dag author could cause classes within Airflow's deserialization allow list to be constructed in those processes with arguments they control. Deployments whose Dags use deadline alerts are affected.

This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2026-45360, which only hardened the reference field; deployments that applied that fix remain affected through the callback and interval fields.

Users of apache-airflow are recommended to upgrade to 3.4.0 or later.
