GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc
HIGHGHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) CWE-863 vulnerability in apache-airflow-core. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Apache Airflow allows users with asset materialize permissions to trigger DAGs outside of their permissions

Description
UI / API User with asset materialize permission could trigger dags they had no access to. Users are advised to migrate to Airflow version 3.2.0 that fixes the issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-airflow-core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update apache-airflow-core to 3.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-h97w-pm3w-mwmc across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
