CVE-2026-75156
Apache-Airflow-Providers-Fab 3.7.3 – 3.8.1
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-75156 is a critical-severity Origin Validation Error (CWE-346) vulnerability in Apache Apache-Airflow-Providers-Fab. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique ARP Cache Poisoning (T1557.002); ranked at the 8th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Apache Airflow FAB provider versions 3.7.3 through 3.8.0 do not validate the issuer or audience of Azure AD `id_token`s during OAuth login. Deployments are affected only when the FAB auth manager is configured with Azure AD as an OAuth provider.…
more
Because the signing keys are fetched from Microsoft's **multi-tenant** JWKS endpoint, an `id_token` minted in *any* Azure tenant — including one the attacker creates — passes signature verification, and the username and role assignments are then read from that attacker-controlled token. Anyone able to register an Azure tenant can therefore authenticate to the Airflow UI with no prior access to the deployment. The fix for **CVE-2026-59243** was incomplete, and this advisory closes the remaining gap: that fix made the provider verify the `id_token` signature, but did not add issuer or audience checks. Operators who already applied the CVE-2026-59243 fix are **still affected and must upgrade again** — 3.7.3 is the release that shipped that fix, so every version containing it falls inside this affected range. Upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-fab `3.8.1` or later.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement directly requires validating the source of data before allowing transmission or receipt.
Device identification and authentication mandates verifying the source before establishing connections.
Session authenticity mechanisms require validation that communications originate from the expected party.
Boundary protection at interfaces enforces checks on the origin of incoming communications.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Documenting authorized flows supports origin validation by defining expected sources.
Authentication directly verifies the source of users/services/hardware, mitigating origin validation failures.
Verifying identity assertions enforces origin validation for conveyed claims.
Protecting networks from unauthorized access requires origin checks on communication sources.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Network security controls enforce origin validation at network boundaries.
Security of network services includes validating the authenticity of service endpoints.
Network segregation reduces exposure but does not directly validate origins.
Application security requirements explicitly call for origin validation of inputs and communications.
Secure architecture principles encourage origin checks but do not mandate them.
Secure coding practices include implementing proper origin validation to prevent spoofing.
