CVE-2026-41018 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch to version 6.5.3rc1 or higher.
Overview
apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch is a Provider package apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch for Apache Airflow
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File due to the _group_logs_by_host function in es_task_handler.py. An attacker can expose embedded Elasticsearch credentials by causing task-log entries to be grouped with the raw [elasticsearch] host URL when a hit lacks a host field. This leaks the user:password@ portion of the configured Elasticsearch endpoint into task-log output, where anyone with task-log read permission can recover the credentials.
Workarounds
- Configure Elasticsearch backend credentials via a secret backend instead of embedding
user:password@in the[elasticsearch] hostURL; this prevents those credentials from being exposed in task-log output to users with task-log read permission.
