CVE-2026-25604 | Apache Airflow AWS Auth Manager - Host Header Injection Leading to SAML Authentication Bypass

In AWS Auth manager, the origin of the SAML authentication has been used as provided by the client and not verified against the actual instance URL.  This allowed to gain access to different instances with potentially different access controls by reusing SAML response from other instances. You should upgrade to 9.22.0 version of provider if you use AWS Auth Manager.

Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.

Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
