Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the log server JWT authorization logic when handling log access requests for Dag IDs. A remote user can use a valid log-server JWT issued for one Dag to access worker logs of other Dags with names sharing the stripped character-set prefix to disclose sensitive information.
Exploitation requires the attacker to already be an authenticated Airflow worker holding a valid log-server JWT issued for at least one Dag. This affects deployments relying on per-Dag log-access scoping.
