CVE-2026-68868 - Apache Airflow Google provider: google Secret Manager backend: team scope is never applied, exposing every team's Connections and Variables

CVE ID :CVE-2026-68868
Published : Aug. 12, 2026, 11:17 a.m. | 2 hours, 11 minutes ago
Description :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.
Severity: 0.0 | NA
