GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) vulnerability in apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Apache Airflow Providers Elasticsearch: Elasticsearch task-log handlers leak credentials embedded in the host URL
Real-World Exposure
apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearchReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
The Elasticsearch logging provider, when configured with a host URL that embeds credentials (for example https://user:[email protected]:9200), wrote the full host URL — including the embedded credentials — into task logs. Any user with task-log read permission could harvest the backend credentials. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch 6.5.3 or later and, as a defense-in-depth measure, configure the backend credentials via a secret backend rather than embedding them in the [elasticsearch] host URL.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update apache-airflow-providers-elasticsearch to 6.5.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-g3jr-4jrm-jvqv across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
