CVE-2026-111453: Apache Airflow: API: asset queuedEvents DELETE checks Dag edit on a ?dag_id query value but deletes rows for every readable Dag
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.26% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow 3.4.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow 3.4.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Apache Airflow's API endpoint for deleting an asset's queued events checked Dag edit permission against the `dag_id` query parameter, but deleted the queued events of every Dag the caller could read. An authenticated user with edit permission on one Dag and read access to others could suppress asset-triggered runs of Dags they cannot edit. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-75157: users who upgraded to apache-airflow 3.3.2 for that fix are still affected and should upgrade to apache-airflow 3.4.0 or later.
