Doc Text:	A flaw was found in Apache Airflow. An authenticated Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) author can trigger the instantiation of allowlisted classes with attacker-controlled arguments inside the scheduler and API server processes. This issue occurs because generic deserialization is performed on deadline alert callback and interval fields, potentially allowing unauthorized actions within privileged services.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-09 10:01:37 UTC

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.
