SCA: security update for apache-airflow (GHSA-f3c2-j7g8-vpp8)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472215

Description

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

- Apache Airflow's Task SDK did not mask the contents of a Variable whose JSON value is a list, so secrets
stored in that shape appeared in cleartext in task logs and in the Rendered Templates UI. Masking was
applied only when the deserialized value was a string or a dict; a list at the top level matched neither
and was returned unmasked. Any authenticated user able to read the logs or rendered templates of a task
that references such a Variable could recover the values, with no special configuration required. This is
the list-shaped counterpart of CVE-2026-59244, whose fix covered the dict case only, so deployments that
upgraded in response to that advisory remain affected and must upgrade again. Users are advised to upgrade
to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later. (CVE-2026-68970)

Solution

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