An authenticated UI/API user with Config read permission could retrieve plaintext secrets-backend credentials (Vault `role_id` / `secret_id`, etc.) from the Config API output. Affects deployments that configure secrets backends via per-key environment overrides. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.3.0 or later.","epss":{"date":"2026-11-02","percentile":0.51739,"score":0.00664},"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":1793689061989,"publishedAt":1783415786466,"references":[{"source":"CNA: apache","tags":["patch"],"url":"https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/67622"},{"source":"CNA: apache","tags":["vendor-advisory"],"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread/pq5yy40079h6tzh3fxvw28dd8dbk72hk"},{"source":"ADP: CVE","tags":[],"url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/07/07/4"}],"remediation":[{"kind":"fix","source":"CNA: apache","text":"The reporting source identifies this reference as a patch.
