An authenticated UI/API user with bulk Variable read permission could retrieve plaintext values from JSON variables whose key would otherwise trigger redaction. Affects deployments that store sensitive values in JSON-typed Airflow Variables under secret-suffixed key names. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.3.0 or later (the fix landed on `main` after 3.2.2; no 3.2.x backport).\n\n## Affected\n\n- `airflow < 3.3.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `airflow 3.3.0`\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-48828)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `apache-airflow < 3.3.0`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `apache-airflow 3.3.0`\n\nSource: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-563f-2439-rmq4","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":36,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":35.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
