SCA: security update for apache-airflow, apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes (GHSA-mg2x-mggj-6955)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416936
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Since version 5.2.0, when using deferrable mode with the path of a Kubernetes configuration file for
authentication, the Airflow worker serializes this configuration file as a dictionary and sends it to the
triggerer by storing it in metadata without any encryption. Additionally, if used with an Airflow version
between 2.3.0 and 2.6.0, the configuration dictionary will be logged as plain text in the triggerer
service without masking. This allows anyone with access to the metadata or triggerer log to obtain the
configuration file and use it to access the Kubernetes cluster. This behavior was changed in version
7.0.0, which stopped serializing the file contents and started providing the file path instead to read the
contents into the trigger. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 7.0.0, which fixes this issue.
