PyPI: apache-airflow-core

CVE-2026-49298

Safety vulnerability ID: SFTY-20260601-47450

Affected versions of the Apache Airflow package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper handling of JWT tokens in command-line arguments. The `KubernetesExecutor` passes JWT tokens as command-line arguments to worker pods, making them visible in the pod specification. An authenticated UI/API user with Kubernetes read-only access can exploit this by using `kubectl describe pod` to harvest the JWT and subsequently perform unauthorized actions on the Execution API, such as triggering Dag runs or manipulating Variables and Connections.
