Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache Airflow versions 3.3.0 up to but not including 3.3.1 are affected. A Dag author, who can control a task instance's next_kwargs through the task execution API, can cause an arbitrary module to be imported inside the scheduler process during the awaiting_input timeout sweep. Upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later; tightening allowed_deserialization_classes does not mitigate this issue.
