CVE-2026-113504

NVDCVSS scored by 134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0

Vulnerability Summary

Apache Airflow's secrets masker stopped descending into nested structures after five levels, so a secret registered with the masker β€” for example a Connection password or a Variable value β€” that appeared more than five containers deep under non-sensitive keys was shown in cleartext in task logs and rendered template fields. A user who can read task logs or rendered templates, but is not meant to see those secrets, could read them. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.4.0 or later. Airflow 2.x is also affected; Airflow 2 has reached end of life and will not receive a fix, so Airflow 2 users should upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.4.0 or later.
