Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-51702 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.6.1\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.6.1\n- apache-airflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.6.1\n- airflow (Bitnami): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.6.1\n- apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes (PyPI): affected from 5.2.0; fixed in 7.0.0\n- apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes (PyPI): affected from 5.2.0; fixed in 7.0.0\n- apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes (PyPI): affected from 5.2.0; fixed in 7.0.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51702/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51702/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-51702","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51702/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-51702","record":{"aliases":["BIT-airflow-2023-51702","GHSA-mg2x-mggj-6955","PYSEC-2026-1144","PYSEC-2026-2350"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Airflow Kubernetes provider","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with metadata or log access can retrieve unencrypted Kubernetes configuration files, potentially gaining cluster access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"airflow","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-532","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File"},{"id":"CWE-312","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"Since version 5.2.0, when using deferrable mode with the path of a Kubernetes configuration file for authentication, the Airflow worker serializes this configuration file as a dictionary and sends it to the triggerer by storing it in metadata without any encryption. Additionally, if used with an Airflow version between 2.3.0 and 2.6.0, the configuration dictionary will be logged as plain text in the triggerer service without masking. This allows anyone with access to the metadata or triggerer log to obtain the configuration file and use it to access the Kubernetes cluster.\n\nThis behavior was changed in version 7.0.0, which stopped serializing the file contents and started providing the file path instead to read the contents into the trigger. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 7.0.0, which fixes this issue.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache Airflow CNCF Kubernetes provider, Apache Airflow: Kubernetes configuration file saved without encryption in the Metadata and logged as plain text in the Triggerer service","id":"CVE-2023-51702","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"apache:airflow","products":["apache:airflow"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":7,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-51704"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["2.6.1"],"introduced":["2.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"airflow","purl":"pkg:bitnami/airflow","source":"BIT-airflow-2023-51702"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.6.1"],"introduced":["2.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mg2x-mggj-6955"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.6.1"],"introduced":["2.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","source":"GHSA-mg2x-mggj-6955"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["2.6.1"],"introduced":["2.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow","source":"PYSEC-2026-2350"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.0.0"],"introduced":["5.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mg2x-mggj-6955"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.0.0"],"introduced":["5.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes","source":"GHSA-mg2x-mggj-6955"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.0.0"],"introduced":["5.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes","source":"PYSEC-2026-1144"}],"prev":{"headline":"@fastify-reply-from JSON Content-Type parsing confusion","id":"CVE-2023-51701"},"products":["Apache Airflow","Apache Airflow CNCF Kubernetes provider"],"published":"2024-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow's Experimental API Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-13927","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2020-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow Command Injection","id":"CVE-2020-11978","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2020-07-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow: DAG author RCE on webserver via unrestricted import_string() in BaseSerialization.deserialize()","id":"CVE-2026-33264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow: Privilege escalation using airflow logs","id":"CVE-2023-25754","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow, Apache Airflow MySQL Provider: Arbitrary file read via MySQL provider in Apache Airflow","id":"CVE-2023-22884","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airflow Pinot provider allowed Command Injection","id":"CVE-2022-38649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Airlfow Pig Provider RCE","id":"CVE-2022-40189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-11","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"Attackers with metadata or log access can retrieve unencrypted Kubernetes configuration files, potentially gaining cluster access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51702/"}
