CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Apache Airflow versions prior to 3.3.0 are vulnerable due to the REST API task-instance detail and list endpoints exposing unmasked trigger kwargs, potentially revealing sensitive information such as API keys to any authenticated user with DAG-scoped access. This could lead to unauthorized access to secrets while tasks are deferred. Organizations using Apache Airflow should prioritize upgrading to version 3.3.0 or later to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

In Apache Airflow before 3.3.0, the REST API task-instance detail and list endpoints returned a deferred task's trigger kwargs without masking. When a deferred operator passed a secret (for example a provider API key) into its trigger, any authenticated user with DAG-scoped task-instance read access for that DAG could read that secret in clear text while the task was deferred. Users should upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.0 or later, which masks sensitive values in trigger kwargs returned by the API.
