Apache Airflow exposes SQL stack trace despite "api/expose_stack_traces" set to false
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
In case of SQL errors, exception/stack trace of errors was exposed in API even if "api/expose_stack_traces" was set to false. That could lead to exposing additional information to potential attacker. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow 3.2.0, which fixes the issue.
