Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Apache Airflow. In multi-team environments where secret caching is enabled, cache keys in the Task SDK are constructed by combining team names and secret identifiers without properly escaping delimiters. An authenticated workflow author can exploit this issue by crafting colliding identifiers to retrieve sensitive variables and connection credentials belonging to other teams, leading to unauthorized information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-09 10:01:51 UTC
Apache Airflow's Task SDK secret cache built its keys from the team name and secret id with unescaped `_` delimiters, so different (team, secret id) pairs could collide. In multi-team deployments a Dag author could read another team's Variable or Connection value by crafting a colliding secret id. Only deployments with both `core.multi_team = True` and `secrets.use_cache = True` are affected.

Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.4.0 or later. Deployments that cannot upgrade can set `secrets.use_cache = False`.
