CVE-2025-54941 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.6/10 on the CVSS scale. An example dag `example_dag_decorator` had non-validated parameter that allowed the UI user to redirect the example to a malicious server and execute code on worker. This however required that the example dags are enabled in production (not default) or the example dag code copied to build your own similar dag. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
