CVE-2020-17526: Incorrect Session Validation in Apache Airflow

April 20, 2021 (updated September 11, 2024)

Incorrect Session Validation in Apache Airflow Webserver versions prior to 1.10.14 with default config allows a malicious airflow user on site A where they log in normally, to access unauthorized Airflow Webserver on Site B through the session from Site A. This does not affect users who have changed the default value for [webserver] secret_key config.
