The intent was to restrict access to sensitive connection fields to Connection Editing Users, effectively applying a \"write-only\" model for sensitive values.\n\n\nIn 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.\n\n\nThis issue does not affect Airflow 2.x, where exposing sensitive information to connection editors was the intended and documented behavior.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsers of Airflow 3.0.3 are advised to upgrade Airflow to >=3.0.4.","epss":{"date":"2026-11-02","percentile":0.6078,"score":0.00935},"exploits":[],"kev":null,"metrics":[{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"ADP: CISA-ADP","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"}],"modifiedAt":1793688634087,"publishedAt":1758871739066,"references":[{"source":"CNA: apache","tags":["vendor-advisory"],"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread/vblmfqtydrp5zgn2q8tj3slk5podxspf"},{"source":"ADP: CVE","tags":[],"url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/09/25/4"}],"remediation":[],"revision":"68069c91403b5cd4b69a8f05d3b9d351d6886c6ab1abef8a8b5f15ab320edb76","sources":[{"modifiedAt":1793688634087,"name":"CNA: apache","retrievedAt":1793689703025,"url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-54831"},{"modifiedAt":null,"name":"FIRST EPSS","retrievedAt":1793689729795,"url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2025-54831"}],"ssvc":{"assessedAt":1758916485537,"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","source":"ADP: CISA-ADP","technicalImpact":"partial"},"status":"published","title":"Apache Airflow: Connection sensitive details exposed to users with READ permissions","updatedAt":1793689729795}
