Descriptions

In the Apache Airflow HDFS Provider, versions prior to 4.1.1, a documentation info pointed users to an install incorrect pip package. As this package name was unclaimed, in theory, an attacker could claim this package and provide code that would be executed when this package was installed. The Airflow team has since taken ownership of the package (neutralizing the risk), and fixed the doc strings in version 4.1.1

En el proveedor Apache Airflow HDFS, versiones anteriores a la 4.1.1, una información de documentación señalaba a los usuarios una instalación de paquete pip incorrecto. Como este nombre de paquete no fue reclamado, en teoría, un atacante podría reclamar este paquete y proporcionar el código que se ejecutaría cuando se instalara este paquete. Desde entonces, el equipo de Airflow se hizo cargo del paquete (neutralizando el riesgo) y corrigió las cadenas de documentos en la versión 4.1.1.
