SCA: security update for apache-airflow (GHSA-c56v-8w4g-3mfm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 471920

Description

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

- Apache Airflow's Config API did not mask team-scoped sensitive configuration values in multi-team
deployments. When an administrator has enabled multi-team mode and exposed the Config API, an
authenticated Viewer holding only configuration-read access — with no prior access to the secret — could
read a team-scoped Celery broker URL, including its embedded credentials, in cleartext, while the
equivalent global option was correctly masked. The secrets masker matched only base section and option
names and did not normalize team-prefixed sections before the sensitivity check (CWE-200). This is a
distinct masker bypass from CVE-2026-48828 and CVE-2026-48892: deployments that upgraded to apache-airflow
3.3.0 to address those issues remain affected by this team-scoped variant. Users are advised to upgrade to
apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which normalizes team-scoped sections before masking. (CVE-2026-65017)

Solution

Update the apache-airflow library and its related packages to version 3.3.1 or later.
