Medium (6.5) in apache software foundation apache airflow. EPSS 0.3% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
Apache Airflow's asynchronous connection test checked permissions when the test was queued — only create permission when the connection ID did not exist yet — but, when the test completed with `commit_on_success`, wrote the tested connection under that ID. A user allowed to create but not edit connections could overwrite a connection someone else had created in the meantime. Only deployments that enable the non-default `[core] test_connection` setting are affected. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.4.0 or later.

Explain CVE-2026-111455 for an engineer deciding whether to act. Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-111455?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-111455?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems). If they give no fixed versions, use the CVE record https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-111455 or the vendor advisory, not third-party mirrors. Tell me how to check whether I am affected and how to verify a fix. Cite the sources and say where they are uncertain.Opens a third-party assistant; its answer is its own, not cve.bz's.
