Apache Airflow: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere
CVE-2026-30912 is a high-severity exposure of resource to wrong sphere vulnerability in Apache Airflow from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 3.0.0, 3.2.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache Airflow to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Apache Airflow to 3.0.0 or 3.2.0, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update Airflow to 3.2.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on lists.apache.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
In case of SQL errors, exception/stack trace of errors was exposed in API even if "api/expose_stack_traces" was set to false. That could lead to exposing additional information to potential attacker. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.2.0, which fixes the issue.
