How to Fix CVE-2025-69219

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Apache airflow providers http dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

apache-airflow-providers-http fixed: 6.0.0 
pip install apache-airflow-providers-http>=6.0.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show apache-airflow-providers-http

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2025-69219, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show apache-airflow-providers-http

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apache airflow providers http in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.0.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show apache-airflow-providers-http command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-913: Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources, where the product does not properly restrict reading from or writing to dynamically-managed code resources such as variables, objects, classes, attributes, functions, or executable instructions or statements. In Apache airflow providers http, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A user with access to the DB could craft a database entry that would result in executing code on Triggerer - which gives anyone who have access to DB the same permissions as Dag Author. Since direct DB access is not usual and recommended for Airflow, the likelihood of it making any damage is low. Users should upgrade to version 6.0.0 of the provider to avoid even that risk.
