Stored XSS via ANSI log URL conversion
Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Mar 27, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Apache Airflow 2.9.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a log viewer's browser. The task-instance log views pass attacker-controlled ANSI-colored log text through ansi_up with URL conversion enabled, producing executable links before the application's own linkification. Exploitation requires permission to write task logs and user interaction when another authenticated user opens the affected log view, enabling browser-context data access or actions with that viewer's privileges.
