Echo: apache-airflow: security update to 3.2.2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457082

Description

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

- A bug in Apache Airflow's rendered-template field handling caused nested sensitive-key masking (e.g.
nested `password` / `token` / `secret` / `api_key` keys inside a JSON template structure) to be bypassed
when the rendered field exceeded `[core] max_templated_field_length`: Airflow stringified the structure
before redaction, losing the nested key context, and persisted the plaintext value into `rendered_fields`.
An authenticated UI/API user with permission to read rendered template fields could harvest secret values
intended to be masked. Affects deployments where Dag authors pass structured JSON to operators with nested
sensitive keys. This is a variant of `CWE-200` previously addressed for the user-registered
`mask_secret()` patterns in CVE-2025-68438; that fix did not cover the nested sensitive-keyword allowlist.
Users who already upgraded for CVE-2025-68438 should additionally upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.2.2 or
later to cover the nested-key path. (CVE-2026-42360)

Solution

Update the apache-airflow library and its related packages to version 3.2.2 or later.
