CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability exists in the Apache Airflow FAB authentication manager, where a DAG named "DAGs" can inadvertently grant users with per-DAG access to it the global all-DAGs permission, leading to privilege escalation. This allows lower-privileged users to gain unauthorized read and edit access to all DAGs within the system. Organizations using Apache Airflow should prioritize upgrading to version 3.7.2 or later of the `apache-airflow-providers-fab` to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

In the Apache Airflow FAB auth manager, a DAG whose `dag_id` is `DAGs` collided with the global all-DAGs permission resource name produced by `resource_name()`, so a user granted per-DAG `access_control` on that one DAG was silently granted the global all-DAGs permission (privilege escalation). The escalation triggers when a DAG named `DAGs` exists and a lower-privileged user is given per-DAG access to it, granting that user read/edit access to every DAG. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow-providers-fab` 3.7.2 or later, which disambiguates the resource-name collision.
