SCA: security update for apache-airflow (GHSA-q475-2pgm-7hvp)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435438
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Apache Airflow 3 introduced a change to the handling of sensitive information in Connections. The intent
was to restrict access to sensitive connection fields to Connection Editing Users, effectively applying a
"write-only" model for sensitive values. In Airflow 3.0.3, this model was unintentionally violated:
sensitive connection information could be viewed by users with READ permissions through both the API and
the UI. This behavior also bypassed the `AIRFLOW__CORE__HIDE_SENSITIVE_VAR_CONN_FIELDS` configuration
option. This issue does not affect Airflow 2.x, where exposing sensitive information to connection editors
was the intended and documented behavior. Users of Airflow 3.0.3 are advised to upgrade Airflow to
>=3.0.4. (CVE-2025-54831)
