CVE-2026-82337: Apache Airflow: DeadlineAlert fields bypass plugin-registration gate for scheduler-side deserialization
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)
- 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: 0.40% (FIRST EPSS).
- 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.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Apache Airflow rebuilt deadline alert fields through generic deserialization, which imports and instantiates the class named in the serialized Dag, in the scheduler and API server. A Dag author could cause classes within Airflow's deserialization allow list to be constructed in those processes with arguments they control. Deployments whose Dags use deadline alerts are affected. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2026-45360, which only hardened the `reference` field; deployments that applied that fix remain affected through the `callback` and `interval` fields. Users of apache-airflow are recommended to upgrade to 3.4.0 or later.

Weakness class (CWE)
CWE-502 · Deserialization of Untrusted DataRoot cause
Data received over the network is deserialized into the language’s native object format without verifying its source. Code paths inside the object can be triggered during deserialization.
