Subject: CVE-2026-68868: Apache Airflow Google provider: google Secret
 Manager backend: team scope is never applied, exposing every team's
 Connections and Variables 

Severity: important 

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow Google provider (apache-airflow-providers-google) before 22.3.0

Description:

The Google Cloud Secret Manager secrets backend in Apache Airflow's Google provider never applied the team scope when resolving Connections and Variables: the caller's `team_name` was accepted by the backend but dropped at the internal call boundary, so every lookup resolved against the team-agnostic secret name. In a deployment running multi-team mode with this backend, a task or Dag belonging to one team resolved another team's Connection or Variable, 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-google 22.3.0 or later, which builds and applies the team-scoped secret name.
