Subject: CVE-2026-59244: Apache Airflow: Secrets masker: `var.json`
 Variable values not masked in the Rendered Templates UI 

Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow (apache-airflow) before 3.3.1

Description:

Apache Airflow's secrets masker did not mask `var.json` Variable values whose value is a dict in the Rendered Templates UI — the dict value failed an `isinstance(str)` guard — so a secret stored as a JSON Variable and referenced in a template via `var.json` was displayed in cleartext to any user with access to that task's Rendered Templates view. Users are advised to upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.1 or later, which masks nested Variable values regardless of type.
