CVE-2026-68868Network attack vector

Cross-team credential disclosure via discarded team scope

Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026

Access-control bypass in Apache Airflow Google Provider before 22.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to read other teams' credentials. CloudSecretManagerBackend accepts team_name in get_conn_value and get_variable but omits it when calling _get_secret, which builds a team-agnostic secret name. Multi-team mode with the Google Secret Manager backend is required; a task or DAG in one team can obtain another team's Connection or Variable value in full.
