Summary
Apache Airflow Backfill API parser discrepancy permits cross-DAG authorization bypass
Details

Apache Airflow's Backfill API authorized a request against a Dag id supplied by the caller whenever the backfill_id path segment failed to parse. The authorization dependency parsed it with int() while the route handler parsed it as pydantic's NonNegativeInt, which accepts values int() rejects (1.0 coerces to 1); FastAPI resolves dependencies before endpoint validation, so the two acted on different Dags. An authenticated user holding edit permission on any single Dag could therefore read, pause and cancel backfills belonging to any other Dag, including moving another Dag's queued runs to failed. No non-default configuration is required and backfill ids are sequential, so finding a target is trivial. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which parses the backfill id with the same type the routes declare.
