Short explanation

The Google Cloud Secret Manager backend in Apache Airflow's Google provider fails to apply team scope during secret resolution, enabling cross-team credential exposure. A patch is available , and users must upgrade to version 22.3.0 or later to resolve the issue.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability enables attackers to access sensitive credentials of other teams in multi-team environments, leading to potential data breaches and privilege escalation. Immediate patching is critical for organizations using multi-team Airflow deployments.

What should be done?

  • Upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-google 22.3.0 or later
  • Apply the fix from https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/70869

Show the technical text from the sources

The Google Cloud Secret Manager secrets backend in Apache Airflow's Google provider never applied the team scope when resolving Connections and Variables: the caller's `team_name` was accepted by the backend but dropped at the internal call boundary, so every lookup resolved against the team-agnostic secret name. In a deployment running multi-team mode with this backend, a task or Dag belonging to one team resolved another team's Connection or Variable, 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-google 22.3.0 or later, which builds and applies the team-scoped secret name.
