{"cve":"CVE-2026-48892","nvd":{"published":"2026-07-07T10:16:41.480","modified":"2026-10-25T20:10:00.147","status":"Analyzed","description":"The Config API in Apache Airflow surfaced per-key secrets-backend overrides (environment variables like `AIRFLOW__SECRETS__BACKEND_KWARG__SECRET_ID` and `AIRFLOW__WORKERS__SECRETS_BACKEND_KWARG__SECRET_ID`) as synthetic config options whose option names were not in `sensitive_config_values`, so the masker did not redact them. An authenticated UI/API user with Config read permission could retrieve plaintext secrets-backend credentials (Vault `role_id` / `secret_id`, etc.) from the Config API output. Affects deployments that configure secrets backends via per-key environment overrides. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.3.0 or later.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-200"],"references":["https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/67622","https://lists.apache.org/thread/pq5yy40079h6tzh3fxvw28dd8dbk72hk","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/07/07/4"],"products":["apache:airflow"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T23:44:34.550481224+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-48892","score":0.00664,"percentile":0.51452,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9933-5rrp-mfwx","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9933-5rrp-mfwx","summary":"Apache Airflow exposes secrets backend credentials through the Config API","modified":"2026-09-04T19:40:26.527966097Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","ranges":["<3.3.0"],"fixed":["3.3.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-2087","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-2087","summary":"","modified":"2026-09-10T11:15:08.442112790Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","ranges":["<3.3.0"],"fixed":["3.3.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
