• PyPI apache-airflow: < 1.10.11rc1 → fixed in 1.10.11rc1

Description

An issue was found in Apache Airflow versions 1.10.10 and below. A remote code/command injection vulnerability was discovered in one of the example DAGs shipped with Airflow which would allow any authenticated user to run arbitrary commands as the user running airflow worker/scheduler (depending on the executor in use). If you already have examples disabled by setting `load_examples=False` in the config then you are not vulnerable.
