CVE-2025-68438Apache Airflow: Secrets in rendered templates could contain parts of sensitive values when truncated

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow and 1 other product. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

In Apache Airflow versions before 3.1.6, when rendered template fields in a Dag exceed [core] max_templated_field_length, sensitive values could be exposed in cleartext in the Rendered Templates UI. This occurred because serialization of those fields used a secrets masker instance that did not include user-registered mask_secret() patterns, so secrets were not reliably masked before truncation and display. Users are recommended to upgrade to 3.1.6 or later, which fixes this issue
