CVE-2024-45784: Apache Airflow: Sensitive configuration values are not masked in the logs by default

[Ephraim Anierobi <ephraimanierobi () apache org>]

Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow before 2.10.3

Description:

Apache Airflow versions before 2.10.3 contain a vulnerability that could expose sensitive configuration variables in 
task logs. This vulnerability allows DAG authors to unintentionally or intentionally log sensitive configuration 
variables. Unauthorized users could access these logs, potentially exposing critical data that could be exploited to 
compromise the security of the Airflow deployment. In version 2.10.3, secrets are now masked in task logs to prevent 
sensitive configuration variables from being exposed in the logging output. Users should upgrade to Airflow 2.10.3 or 
the latest version to eliminate this vulnerability. If you suspect that DAG authors could have logged the secret values 
to the logs and that your logs are not additionally protected, it is also recommended that you update those secrets.
