Summary

In the Apache Airflow Akeyless secrets backend, the team-scope guard can be bypassed with a user-controlled key. A Dag author scoped to one team can supply a Variable key containing a path separator, causing the backend to resolve a secret belonging to a different team.

Risk Assessment

In multi-team deployments, a user from one team can access secrets of other teams, breaking isolation and potentially leaking confidential data.

Recommendation

Upgrade apache-airflow-providers-akeyless to version 0.3.1 or later, which fixes the issue. Single-team deployments are not affected.

Original NVD description (English source)

Apache Airflow Akeyless provider: the Akeyless secrets backend's team-scope guard can be bypassed with a user-controlled key. In a multi-team deployment, a Dag author scoped to one team can supply a Variable key containing a path separator that causes the backend to resolve a secret belonging to a different team, because the lookup path is concatenated from an unvalidated key after the team-scoped lookup misses. The Execution API Variables route accepts a path-shaped key, so this is reachable from ordinary Dag code. Affects multi-team deployments using the Akeyless secrets backend. Single-team deployments are not affected, as there is no cross-team boundary to cross. This is the same class as CVE-2026-68870, CVE-2026-68871 and CVE-2026-68872 in the Azure Key Vault, Yandex Lockbox and Amazon secrets backends. Users of apache-airflow-providers-akeyless are recommended to upgrade to version 0.3.1 or later, which fixes the issue.
