Echo: apache-airflow: security update to 3.3.0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460549

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The Bulk Variables API in Apache Airflow called the redactor without passing the variable's key, so the
 key-based `should_hide_value_for_key` check (which triggers on secret-suffixed key names like `*_password`
 / `*_token` / `*_secret`) could not fire for JSON-decodable variable values. An authenticated UI/API user
 with bulk Variable read permission could retrieve plaintext values from JSON variables whose key would
 otherwise trigger redaction. Affects deployments that store sensitive values in JSON-typed Airflow
 Variables under secret-suffixed key names. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.3.0 or later
 (the fix landed on `main` after 3.2.2; no 3.2.x backport). (CVE-2026-48828)

Solution

Update the apache-airflow library and its related packages to version 3.3.0 or later.
