Apache · Apache Airflow · CVE-2023-50783
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Airflow versions prior to 2.8.0
**Description**
The issue is related to improper access control in Apache Airflow, allowing an authenticated user without the variable edit permission to update a variable. This compromises the integrity of variable management and could lead to unauthorized data modification.
**Recommendations**
For Apache Airflow versions prior to 2.8.0, upgrade to version 2.8.0 to fix the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the variable management feature to minimize the risk of exploitation.
