Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine via the bash_command parameter in the BashOperator when user-supplied input from the conf field is not properly sanitized. An attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the conf parameter when triggering a DAG run. This is only exploitable if DAG code was modeled after the pre-correction documentation example and users have the Dag.can_trigger permission.
