Description

Apache Airflow, versions before 2.6.3, is affected by a vulnerability that allows an unauthorized actor to gain access to sensitive information in Connection edit view. This vulnerability is considered low since it requires someone with access to Connection resources specifically updating the connection to exploit it. Users should upgrade to version 2.6.3 or later which has removed the vulnerability.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-airflow, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update apache-airflow to 2.6.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-46651 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
