No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Apache Airflow's scheduler-side deadline-reference decoder (SerializedCustomReference.deserialize_reference) imported and dispatched arbitrary class paths drawn from DAG-author-controlled serialized state without an allowlist or plugin-registry gate. A DAG author whose code reaches the scheduler — the default on single-host deployments where the DAG bundle is importable from the scheduler process — could embed a custom DeadlineReference whose serialized form named an attacker-controlled module path, causing the scheduler to import_string(...) and instantiate that class with a live SQLAlchemy session attached. Affects deployments where DAG-author code is less trusted than the scheduler process. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.2.2 or later.
