Cross-team secret disclosure via namespace fall-through
Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Authorization bypass in Apache Airflow Amazon Provider before 9.34.0 allows remote authenticated users to read another team's secrets. The Secrets Manager and Parameter Store backends accept a team-namespaced Connection or Variable id and resolve it through an ambiguous scoped lookup or team-agnostic fallback instead of rejecting it. Exploitation requires multi-team mode, one of the affected AWS secrets backends, and access to one team; the disclosed value can contain the other team's credentials.
