CVE-2024-39877

29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2024-39877 is a critical vulnerability affecting Apache Airflow versions prior to 2.9.3, allowing authenticated DAG authors to achieve arbitrary code execution within the scheduler context by manipulating the doc_md parameter. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.8) has a low attack complexity and could lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, immediate upgrade to Airflow 2.9.3 or later is strongly recommended to mitigate this risk.
