Apache Airflow <=3.1.7 DAG Dependency Enum via /ui/dependencies
CVE-2026-28563 Published on March 17, 2026
Apache Airflow: DAG authorization bypass
Apache Airflow versions 3.1.0 through 3.1.7 /ui/dependencies endpoint returns the full DAG dependency graph without filtering by authorized DAG IDs. This allows an authenticated user with only DAG Dependencies permission to enumerate DAGs they are not authorized to view.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.1.8 or later, which resolves this issue.

Weakness Type
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors. When a resource is given a permissions setting that provides access to a wider range of actors than required, it could lead to the exposure of sensitive information, or the modification of that resource by unintended parties. This is especially dangerous when the resource is related to program configuration, execution or sensitive user data.
