Apache · Apache Airflow · CVE-2026-54183
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Airflow versions prior to 3.3.1
**Description**
The secrets masker in the UI fails to hide values stored under sensitive key names when they are nested inside a list, tuple, or set beyond the recursion-depth limit. This results in Airflow Variables with deeply-nested values being displayed unmasked in the Variables UI. This issue serves as a shoulder-surfing defense and does not bypass access-control boundaries, as authenticated users with UI access can already retrieve the full value via the Variables REST API.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade to apache-airflow version 3.3.1 or later.
