Overview

apache-airflow-providers-hashicorp is a Provider package apache-airflow-providers-hashicorp for Apache Airflow

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Not Failing Securely ('Failing Open') via VaultBackend in vault.py, where connections_path, variables_path, and config_path each accept only a single string path, preventing users from specifying multiple fallback paths for secret resolution. An attacker or misconfigured deployment relying on global_secrets_path as a fallback cannot express ordered multi-path lookup, causing secrets to be silently missed when the primary path does not contain the requested key. The global_secrets_path parameter is deprecated and no longer the correct mechanism for fallback path configuration.
