Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
When a DAG failed during parsing, Airflow’s error-reporting in the UI could include the full kwargs passed to the operators. If those kwargs contained sensitive values (such as secrets), they might be exposed in the UI tracebacks to authenticated users who had permission to view that DAG. [CVSS 6.5 MEDIUM]
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
