5th percentile - higher than 5% of all known CVEs

Summary

JWT tokens that were used by workers in Kubernetes Executors have been exposed to users who had read only access to Kubernetes Pods. This could allow users with just read-only access to perform actions that were only available to running tasks via Task SDK and potentially allow to modify state of Airflow Database for tasks.

Risk Assessment

Users with limited privileges can escalate their privileges by performing operations reserved for tasks, potentially leading to unauthorized access and modification of Airflow data.

Recommendation

Immediately update Kubernetes Executors to a version that fixes this vulnerability and restrict access to Kubernetes Pods.
