Apache Airlfow: Sensitive Azure Service Bus connection string (and possibly other providers) exposed to users with view access

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 15, 2026 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 16, 2026

Package

pip apache-airflow (pip)

Affected versions

< 3.1.8

Patched versions

3.1.8

Description

The access_key and connection_string connection properties were not marked as sensitive names in secrets masker. This means that user with read permission could see the values in Connection UI, as well as when Connection was accidently logged to logs, those values could be seen in the logs. Azure Service Bus used those properties to store sensitive values. Possibly other providers could be also affected if they used the same fields to store sensitive data.

If you used Azure Service Bus connection with those values set or if you have other connections with those values storing senesitve values, you should upgrade Airflow to 3.1.8.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
