Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function via ExecuteCallback workloads in CeleryExecutor, which ran deadline-alert callbacks without validating the workload's authentication token. An attacker with write access to the Celery broker can enqueue a forged ExecuteCallback message and execute arbitrary code on every CeleryExecutor worker, without requiring Airflow credentials.
