Plain English Summary

AI-powered analysis for quick understanding

Authenticated users with access to audit logs can view sensitive connection details that should remain hidden, as these values are stored unencrypted in the Airflow database. To mitigate this risk, users should upgrade to version 2.11.1 or later and manually remove any sensitive entries from the log.

Technical Description

Airflow versions before 2.11.1 have a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with audit log access to see sensitive values in audit logs which they should not see. When sensitive connection parameters were set via airflow CLI, values of those variables appeared in the audit log and were stored unencrypted in the Airflow database. While this risk is limited to users with audit log access, it is recommended to upgrade to Airflow 2.11.1 or a later version, which addresses this issue. Users who previously used the CLI to set connections should manually delete entries with those connection sensitive values from the log table. This is similar but not the same issue as CVE-2024-50378

Related Vulnerabilities

CVE-2025-66249Medium

This vulnerability allows an attacker to access files outside of the intended directory on an Apache Livy server, potentially exposing sensitive data. It can only be exploited if the server is configured with a non-default setting for local directory access, so users should upgrade to version 0.9.0 to protect against this risk.

CVE-2025-60012Medium

This vulnerability allows an attacker to access files they shouldn't be able to reach by sending specially crafted requests to Apache Livy's REST or JDBC interface. To exploit this, the attacker must already have access to these interfaces and be able to include specific Spark configuration values in their requests.

CVE-2026-25604Medium

An attacker could gain unauthorized access to different AWS instances by reusing SAML authentication responses from other instances, potentially bypassing access controls. This vulnerability occurs because the system does not verify the origin of the SAML response against the actual instance URL, so it's crucial to upgrade to version 9.22.0 of the provider if you're using AWS Auth Manager.

CVE-2025-69219High

This vulnerability allows an attacker with access to the database to run unauthorized code, effectively giving them the same permissions as the original creator of workflows in Airflow. While direct access to the database is uncommon and not recommended, upgrading to version 6.0.0 of the provider is essential to eliminate this risk.

CVE-2026-24713Critical

This vulnerability allows an attacker to send malicious input to Apache IoTDB, potentially leading to unauthorized access or manipulation of data. It affects versions 1.0.0 to 1.3.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.6, so users should upgrade to the latest versions to protect against this risk.
