Aliases BIT-airflow-2021-26697
CVE-2021-26697
GHSA-fh37-cx83-q542
PYSEC-2021-3
Summary The lineage endpoint of the deprecated Experimental API was not protected by authentication in Airflow 2.0.0. This allowed unauthenticated users to hit that endpoint. This is low-severity issue as the attacker needs to be aware of certain parameters to pass to that endpoint and even after can just get some metadata about a DAG and a Task. This issue affects Apache Airflow 2.0.0.
