Description
Use of Web Browser Cache Containing Sensitive Information vulnerability in Apache Airflow.
Airflow did not return "Cache-Control" header for dynamic content, which in case of some browsers could result in potentially storing sensitive data in local cache of the browser.
This issue affects Apache Airflow: before 2.9.2.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.9.2, which fixes the issue.

How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness
CWE-525: Use of Web Browser Cache Containing Sensitive Information
The web application does not use an appropriate caching policy that specifies the extent to which each web page and associated form fields should be cached.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design: Protect information stored in cache.
- Implementation: Use a restrictive caching policy for forms and web pages that potentially contain sensitive information, such as "no-cache" in the Cache-Control header.
- Architecture and Design: Do not store unnecessarily sensitive information in the cache.
- Architecture and Design: Consider using encryption in the cache.
