CVE-2026-107474: Apache Airflow connections API sensitive extra masking bypass

CVE-2026-107474 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-09

Apache Airflow's API for managing database and service connections failed to mask sensitive credentials stored in provider-specific fields, such as notification service tokens for the Apprise provider. An authenticated user with permission to view connections could retrieve these credentials in cleartext, potentially exposing third-party service authentication secrets.

Technologies: Apache Airflow. Vendors: Apache.

Am I affected by CVE-2026-107474?
Check whether you run Apache Airflow at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: apache-airflow 3.4.0

Technical details

The connections API used only field-name-based masking for sensitive extras, failing to mask provider-declared secrets with generic names like "config" that could embed notification-service credentials. An authenticated user with read access to connections could retrieve these unmasked values via API calls. The fix adds provider metadata-based masking to hide all fields that any installed provider declares sensitive, independent of connection type.

Affected products
