DescriptionCVE.org

The Azure Key Vault secrets backend in Apache Airflow's Microsoft Azure provider resolved a team-scoped Connection or Variable id through the team-agnostic lookup when the team-scoped lookup missed. In a deployment running multi-team mode with this backend, a caller in one team could resolve a secret belonging to another team by supplying an id that spells out that team's namespace, obtaining its credentials in full. No unusual configuration is required beyond enabling multi-team mode and using this backend. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-azure 14.1.0 or later, which refuses the team-agnostic fall-through for an id that could name a team namespace.

AnalysisAI

Cross-team credential disclosure in the Apache Airflow Microsoft Azure provider's Key Vault secrets backend allows any authenticated team member to read credentials belonging to a different team in multi-team deployments running versions prior to 14.1.0. The backend's team-scoped lookup falls through to a team-agnostic resolution when the scoped lookup misses, and an attacker in one team can deliberately trigger this by supplying a connection or variable ID whose normalized form encodes the target team's namespace prefix. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires Apache Airflow to be configured in multi-team mode - this is not the default Airflow deployment mode but is the intended mode when using this backend for team-isolated secret management. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is significant for any organization running Apache Airflow in multi-team mode with the Azure Key Vault secrets backend, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in tczew should treat this as an urgent patching priority if inter-team credential isolation is a stated security boundary. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-azure to version 14.1.0 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed fix version per the advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/dtkk6vtfoj1y4zjyd6s3mzg0v5g9yg0p and the upstream patches at https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/70876 and https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/70899. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
