CVE-2026-111455: Apache Airflow: Connections API: async connection test authorizes create at enqueue but overwrites a later-created connection at commit

Published Nov 9, 2026

Updated

Apache Airflow's asynchronous connection test checked permissions when the test was queued — only create permission when the connection ID did not exist yet — but, when the test completed with commitonsuccess, wrote the tested connection under that ID. A user allowed to create but not edit connections could overwrite a connection someone else had created in the meantime. Only deployments that enable the non-default [core] testconnection setting are affected. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.4.0 or later.
