How to fix?

Upgrade apache-airflow to version 2.3.4 or higher.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to an insecure umask that was configured for numerous Airflow components when running with the --daemon flag. Exploiting this behavior could result in a race condition giving world-writable files in the Airflow home directory and allowing local users to expose arbitrary file contents via the webserver.

Mitigation:

Run without the --deamon flag via a process supervisor instead (systemd, runit, etc.)
