Apache Airflow exposes dict-valued var.json secrets in Rendered Templates
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | apache-airflow | < 3.3.1 | 3.3.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Apache Airflow's secrets masker did not mask `var.json` Variable values whose value is a dict in the Rendered Templates UI — the dict value failed an `isinstance(str)` guard — so a secret stored as a JSON Variable and referenced in a template via `var.json` was displayed in cleartext to any user with access to that task's Rendered Templates view. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which masks nested Variable values regardless of type.
