Echo: apache-airflow: security update to 3.3.1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472740

Description

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

 - Apache Airflow's asset materialization endpoint (`POST /api/v2/assets/{asset_id}/materialize`) and the
 XCom result check on `wait_dag_run_until_finished` authorized the target Dag without its team, unlike
 every other authorization site. A team-aware auth manager distinguishes a team-scoped Dag from a global
 one by that field -- the Keycloak auth manager, for example, checks the `DAG` resource instead of
 `DAG:<team>` -- so the team-scoped permission that should gate the request was never consulted. In a
 deployment running multi-team mode with a team-aware auth manager, an authenticated user in one team could
 trigger Dag runs belonging to another team, supplying their own `dag_run_id` and `conf`, and could read
 another team's XCom values. Deployments using the FAB auth manager are unaffected, as it has no multi-team
 support. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which resolves the Dag's team at
 both sites. (CVE-2026-68971)

Solution

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