CVE-2026-68969 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Minimos:latest airflow-3 to version 3.3.1-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream airflow-3 package and not the airflow-3 package as distributed by Minimos.
See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
Apache Airflow wrote Variable values and Connection extra contents to the audit log in cleartext when they were submitted through the bulk endpoints (PATCH /api/v2/variables and PATCH /api/v2/connections). The audit-log masking recognised only top-level request fields, and a bulk request nests its entities two levels below, so no masking was applied to them. Any authenticated user with audit-log read access -- who need not hold Variables or Connections read at all -- could recover those secrets verbatim, and the Connection extra copy is stored unencrypted in the log while the connection table encrypts it. The Airflow UI's Import Variables action posts to this endpoint, so an ordinary operator import wrote every secret in the file to the log. This is a different code path from CVE-2026-50204: that fix shipped in 3.3.0 and covers the single-entity endpoints only, so deployments that upgraded in response to that advisory remain affected and must upgrade again. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later.
