Apache Airflow Providers Elasticsearch: Elasticsearch task-log handlers leak credentials embedded in the host URL
CVE-2026-41018 · GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv
- Affected
- PyPI apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch < 6.5.3
- Fixed in
- 6.5.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- The Elasticsearch logging provider, when configured with a host URL that embeds credentials (for example https://user:password@server.example.com:9200), wrote the full host URL — including the embedded credentials — into task logs. Any user with task-log read permission could harvest the backend credentials. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch 6.5.3 or later and, as a defense-in-depth measure, configure the backend credentials via a secret backend rather than embedding them in the [elasticsearch] host URL.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 6.5.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
