How to fix?

Upgrade apache-airflow to version 2.0.1 or higher.

Overview

apache-airflow is a platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. Improper access control on the configurations endpoint for the Stable API allows users with Viewer or User role to get airflow configurations including sensitive information even when [webserver] expose_config is set to False in airflow.cfg.
