Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer in the Config API when per-key secrets backend overrides are configured via environment variables. An attacker can obtain plaintext secrets-backend credentials by accessing the API output, as sensitive information is not properly redacted. This is only exploitable if secrets backends are configured using per-key environment variable overrides.
