We recommend against exposing the example DAGs in your deployment. If you must expose the example DAGs, upgrade Airflow to version 2.10.1 or later.\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `apache-airflow >= 2.10.0, < 2.10.1`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `apache-airflow 2.10.1`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":49,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.2,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
