Upgrade apache-airflow-core to version 3.4.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in the audit-log decorator (airflow/api_fastapi/logging/decorators.py), specifically in _mask_connection_fields and _mask_variable_fields, because the secrets masker matched only on configured sensitive key names rather than masking all values unconditionally. Connection extra field values stored under arbitrary key names and Variable values are written verbatim to the Log.extra column, allowing an authenticated low-privilege user with read access to the event-log or audit API to recover credentials they would not otherwise have access to.
Note: This is only exploitable by an authenticated user with read access to the event-log / audit API.
