Ash Berlin-Taylor commented on AIRFLOW-1765:
--------------------------------------------
I have created two PRs that address fix this in different ways. Only one should
be used and the other closed unmerged.
- https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/2736 - default backend
denies all, added an allow_all backend
- https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/2737 - default backend still
allows_all, added a deny_all backend.
In cases both there remains a airflow.api.auth.backend.default so that existing
config's won't suddenly break.
> Default API auth backed should deny all.

> Key: AIRFLOW-1765
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1765
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: api, authentication
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Reporter: Ash Berlin-Taylor
> Labels: security
> Fix For: 1.9.0
>
>
> It has been discovered that the experimental API in the default configuration
> is not protected behind any authentication.
> This means that out of the box the Airflow webserver's /api/experimental/ can
> be requested by anyone, meaning pools can be updated/deleted and task
> instance variables can be read.
