The audit-log masking recognised only top-level request fields, and a bulk request nests its entities two levels below, so no masking was applied to them. Any authenticated user with audit-log read access -- who need not hold Variables or Connections read at all -- could recover those secrets verbatim, and the Connection `extra` copy is stored unencrypted in the log while the connection table encrypts it. The Airflow UI's *Import Variables* action posts to this endpoint, so an ordinary operator import wrote every secret in the file to the log. This is a different code path from CVE-2026-50204: that fix shipped in 3.3.0 and covers the single-entity endpoints only, so deployments that upgraded in response to that advisory remain affected and must upgrade again. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later.","score":6.5,"severity":"medium","published":"2026-08-12T15:26:40.095Z","modified":"2026-11-03T07:00:16.212Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"Apache Software Foundation","name":"Apache Airflow","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.0.0","versionType":"semver"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","packageURL":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","packageIdentity":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"apache-airflow"},"cpes":[],"source":"apache","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-68969"},{"vendor":"Apache Software Foundation","name":"Apache Airflow","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"3.0.0","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.3.1","versionType":"semver"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","packageURL":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow-core","packageIdentity":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"apache-airflow-core"},"cpes":[],"source":"apache","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-68969"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/70890","https://lists.apache.org/thread/p3jr90jgp2brto4vwcrx680f3x11y70c","https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-50204"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-68969","modified":"2026-11-03T07:00:16.212Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-68969"}],"assessments":[{"source":"CISA-ADP","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.5}],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-11-03T07:15:39.142Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-11-15T00:20:33.177Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"available","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:35.924Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:35.924Z"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"available","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:36.245Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:36.245Z"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"available","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:36.245Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:36.245Z"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"available","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:35.692Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:35.692Z"}],"evidence":[{"source":"FIRST EPSS","id":"CVE-2026-68969","url":"https://www.first.org/epss/","probability":0.00358,"percentile":0.29562,"date":"2026-11-02","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:35.692Z"},{"source":"NVD","id":"CVE-2026-68969","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68969","modified":"2026-11-03T07:20:57.350","score":6.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:35.924Z"},{"source":"GitHub Advisory Database","id":"GHSA-cjv4-7hp2-2x9h","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cjv4-7hp2-2x9h","modified":"2026-10-02T23:14:13Z","score":6.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:36.245Z"},{"source":"ENISA EUVD","id":"EUVD-2026-57270","url":"https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/EUVD-2026-57270","modified":"Sep 16, 2026, 2:57:12 PM","score":6.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","checkedAt":"2026-11-03T07:25:36.245Z"}],"aiSummary":{"text":"Apache Airflow versions before 3.3.1 record secret values in the audit log in cleartext when submitted through bulk endpoints.
