Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow Akeyless provider (apache-airflow-providers-akeyless) before 
0.3.1

Description:

Apache Airflow Akeyless provider: the Akeyless secrets backend's team-scope 
guard can be bypassed with a user-controlled key. In a multi-team deployment, a 
Dag author scoped to one team can supply a Variable key containing a path 
separator that causes the backend to resolve a secret belonging to a different 
team, because the lookup path is concatenated from an unvalidated key after the 
team-scoped lookup misses. The Execution API Variables route accepts a 
path-shaped key, so this is reachable from ordinary Dag code.

Affects multi-team deployments using the Akeyless secrets backend. Single-team 
deployments are not affected, as there is no cross-team boundary to cross. This 
is the same class as CVE-2026-68870, CVE-2026-68871 and CVE-2026-68872 in the 
Azure Key Vault, Yandex Lockbox and Amazon secrets backends.

Users of apache-airflow-providers-akeyless are recommended to upgrade to 
version 0.3.1 or later, which fixes the issue.
