{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-68969","description":"Apache Airflow wrote Variable values and Connection `extra` contents to the audit log in cleartext when they were submitted through the bulk endpoints (`PATCH /api/v2/variables` and `PATCH /api/v2/connections`). 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.","publishedAt":"2026-08-12T16:17:19","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-13T14:15:49","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68969","cvssScore":6.5,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","epssProbability":0.00358,"riskScore":0.67,"affectedProduct":"apache-airflow","affectedVersions":"<3.3.1","vulnerabilityType":"Library","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-68969","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-68969","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-68969","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-68969","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-68969","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-68969","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-68969","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-68969"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68969"}}
