CVE-2026-58065
Apache Airflow Git provider: Git provider hook defaults to StrictHostKeyChecking=no, disabling SSH host-key verification
The Apache Airflow Git provider runs its git-over-SSH operations with StrictHostKeyChecking=no by default, disabling SSH host-key verification. An attacker who can intercept the network path between an Airflow worker and the Git server can impersonate the server (man-in-the-middle), capturing the SSH deploy key or injecting malicious repository content. Deployments that use the Git DAG bundle or Git provider to clone over SSH with a deploy key are affected. The fix changes the default to verify host keys; upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-git 0.4.1 or later and configure a known_hosts file.
