Apache Airflow Git provider: Key Exchange without Entity Authentication

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-58065 is a high-severity key exchange without entity authentication vulnerability in Apache Airflow Git provider from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.4.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache Airflow Git provider to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.74% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 55% of scored CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update Apache Airflow Git provider to 0.4.1 or a later version.
  2. Update Apache-airflow-providers-git to 0.4.1 or a later version.
  3. Read the advisory on lists.apache.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  4. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

The Apache Airflow Git provider runs its git-over-SSH operations with `StrictHostKeyChecking=no` by default, disabling SSH host-key verification. An attacker who can intercept the network path between an Airflow worker and the Git server can impersonate the server (man-in-the-middle), capturing the SSH deploy key or injecting malicious repository content. Deployments that use the Git DAG bundle or Git provider to clone over SSH with a deploy key are affected. The fix changes the default to verify host keys; upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-git `0.4.1` or later and configure a `known_hosts` file.

The underlying weakness: Key Exchange without Entity Authentication

The product performs a key exchange with an actor without verifying the identity of that actor.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Ensure that proper authentication is included in the system design.
  • Understand and properly implement all checks necessary to ensure the identity of entities involved in encrypted communications.
