Apache Airflow: Sensitive configuration values are not masked in the logs by default
CVE-2024-45784 · GHSA-46c3-5xc5-wwhv
- Affected
- PyPI airflow < 2.10.3
- Fixed in
- 2.10.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Apache Airflow versions before 2.10.3 contain a vulnerability that could expose sensitive configuration variables in task logs. This vulnerability allows DAG authors to unintentionally or intentionally log sensitive configuration variables. Unauthorized users could access these logs, potentially exposing critical data that could be exploited to compromise the security of the Airflow deployment. In version 2.10.3, secrets are now masked in task logs to prevent sensitive configuration variables from being exposed in the logging output. Users should upgrade to Airflow 2.10.3 or the latest version to eliminate this vulnerability. If you suspect that DAG authors could have logged the secret values to the logs and that your logs are not additionally protected, it is also recommended that you update those secrets.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.10.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
