CVE-2019-12398
In Apache Airflow before 1.10.5 when running with the "classic" UI, a malicious admin user could edit the state of objects in the Airflow metadata database to execute arbitrary javascript on certain page views.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Apache Airflow before 1.10.5 when running with the "classic" UI, a malicious admin user could edit the state of objects in the Airflow metadata database to execute arbitrary javascript on certain page views. The new "RBAC" UI is unaffected.
