CWE-201  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade apache-airflow-core to version 3.2.2rc1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data via the /api/v2/connections/{connection_id} REST API endpoint. An attacker can access sensitive credential information stored in the extra JSON blob by making authenticated requests with Connection-read permissions, even for fields not intended to be exposed, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of secrets.

Notes:

  • This is only exploitable if credentials are stored in the extra field and Connection-read access is granted to multiple users.
  • The vulnerable code is not distributed as a traditional dependency and is instead provided as vendored code (see docs)

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by storing sensitive credential values in a secret backend rather than inlining them into the extra field.
