    Published: 2 Sept 2022Last Modified: 12 Aug 2026

    Summary: Overly permissive umask for daemons

    Details: In Apache Airflow prior to 2.3.4, an insecure umask was configured for numerous Airflow components when running with the `--daemon` flag which could result in a race condition giving world-writable files in the Airflow home directory and allowing local users to expose arbitrary file contents via the webserver.
