SCA: security update for apache-airflow (GHSA-f643-3rc2-j27w)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 471977

Description

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

 - Apache Airflow's secrets masker did not mask `var.json` Variable values whose value is a dict in the
 Rendered Templates UI — the dict value failed an `isinstance(str)` guard — so a secret stored as a JSON
 Variable and referenced in a template via `var.json` was displayed in cleartext to any user with access to
 that task's Rendered Templates view. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which
 masks nested Variable values regardless of type. (CVE-2026-59244)

Solution

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