A user who can read audit events but is denied Variable and Connection access can retrieve those values through the event-log API.\n\nUsers of apache-airflow are recommended to upgrade to 3.4.0 or later. Audit-log entries written before the upgrade keep the cleartext values: purge the affected entries and rotate the secrets they contain. Airflow 2.x is also affected; Airflow 2 has reached end of life and will not receive a fix, so Airflow 2 users should upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.4.0 or later.","score":6.5,"severity":"medium","published":"2026-11-09T09:49:18.059Z","modified":"2026-11-12T19:50:12.319Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"Apache Software Foundation","name":"Apache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-2026-86468"},{"vendor":"Apache Software Foundation","name":"Apache Airflow","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.4.0","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-2026-86468"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/72650","https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-50204","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/yl4dlhvstlnc1qogcw3n4bx216cjsmoo"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-86468","modified":"2026-11-12T19:50:12.319Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-86468"}],"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":"2026-11-13T09:47:07.694Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-11-15T00:40:33.739Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:33.642Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:33.642Z"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:33.775Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:33.775Z"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:34.012Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:34.012Z"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:33.738Z","attemptedAt":"2026-11-09T10:05:33.738Z"}],"evidence":[],"aiSummary":{"text":"Apache Airflow's CLI masks secrets by argument position, but some commands leave secrets in cleartext, allowing users who can read audit events to retrieve them.
