High (8.8) in Apache Airflow. In CISA KEV since 2022-01-18. EPSS 99% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in apache-airflow 1.10.11rc1.

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).
