CVE-2026-68870Apache Airflow Microsoft Azure provider: microsoft.azure Key Vault backend: team-scope guard bypass resolves another team's Connection or Variable
Medium 5.3
In plain English
A medium-severity authorization bypass via user-controlled key in Apache Airflow Microsoft Azure provider from Apache Software Foundation. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 30% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Azure Key Vault secrets backend in Apache Airflow's Microsoft Azure provider resolved a team-scoped Connection or Variable id through the team-agnostic lookup when the team-scoped lookup missed. In a deployment running multi-team mode with this backend, a caller in one team could resolve a secret belonging to another team by supplying an id that spells out that team's namespace, obtaining its credentials in full. No unusual configuration is required beyond enabling multi-team mode and using this backend. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-azure 14.1.0 or later, which refuses the team-agnostic fall-through for an id that could name a team namespace.
