Synopsis

Apache Airflow Unauthenticated Access

Description

Apache Airflow is a platform to programmatically author, schedule and monitor workflows. When authentication is not enabled, an attacker can access the Airflow web interface without any credentials. This may allow an attacker to view and modify workflows, access sensitive information, and potentially execute arbitrary code on the server hosting Airflow.

Solution

Authentication should be enforced to prevent unauthorized access to the Apache Airflow interface.
