What is CVE-2024-31869?
CVE-2024-31869 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Apache Airflow, published on 18 Apr 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Airflow versions 2.7.0 through 2.8.4 have a vulnerability that allows an authenticated user to see sensitive provider configuration via the "configuration" UI page when "non-sensitive-only" was set as "webserver.expose_config" configuration (The celery provider is the only community provider currently that has sensitive configurations). You should migrate to Airflow 2.9 or change your "expose_config" configuration to False as a workaround. This is similar, but different to CVE-2023-46288 https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9qqg-mh7c-chfq which concerned API, not UI configuration page.
Weakness: CWE-200
