CVE-2022-40127 is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Apache Airflow versions prior to 2.4.0. An authenticated attacker with UI access can exploit this flaw by triggering DAGs and manipulating the run_id parameter to execute arbitrary commands. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High) and an EPSS score indicating high exploitability, this vulnerability poses a significant risk due to its low attack complexity and severe impact (confidentiality, integrity, availability). While not currently listed in CISA KEV, exploit intelligence shows a Nuclei template exists, suggesting readily available exploit code, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
