Only resolve a team namespaced environment secret for its own team (#70736)
* Only resolve a team namespaced environment secret for its own team
A team specific Connection or Variable lives in the
`_<TEAM_NAME>___<SECRET_ID>`
namespace of the environment. An id that already spells such a namespace out
therefore reaches that variable through the team agnostic lookup, which is
only
correct when the namespace is the one the lookup is made for.
The check guarding that had two gaps. Its pattern, `_[^_]+___.+`, could not
span
an underscore in the team name, and team names may contain underscores. And
it
only applied when no team was in scope, so with a team in scope it did
nothing:
the team scoped probe only returns on a hit, and a miss fell through to the
team
agnostic name, which is byte identical to the other team's variable.
Recognise a namespaced id without assuming the team name has no underscores,
deny it outright when no team is in scope, and otherwise allow it only when
it
begins with the namespace prefix that the team in scope itself builds. The
stored id is deliberately not parsed: a team name may contain underscores,
so
`_a___b___c` is both team `a` with id `b___c` and team `a___b` with id `c`,
and
no pattern separates them. Comparing against the prefix the caller builds
needs
no such reading.
Both lookups share the helper, so this covers Connections and Variables.

* Refuse a team namespaced id for the team agnostic lookup outright
The previous guard compared the supplied id against the namespace prefix the
caller's own team builds, and treated a match as proof the id was the
caller's
own. It is not. A team name may itself contain the `___` separator, so one
team's namespace can start with another's: for a caller in team `a`, the id
`_a___b___c` starts with `_A___`, but the variable it resolves,
`AIRFLOW_CONN__A___B___C`, belongs to team `a___b`. The prefix cleared the
guard, the team scoped lookup missed, and the team agnostic lookup returned
the
other team's secret -- the same cross-team read the guard exists to stop,
for
every team whose name extends the caller's.
Drop the attribution attempt. The team scoped lookup runs first and is safe
by
construction, since it can only ever build the caller's own namespace.
After it
misses, an id that spells out any team namespace is refused, because the
team
agnostic lookup would land inside one. The id is never parsed to decide
which
team it belongs to -- that question has no answer.
A caller reaching its own team's secret through the namespaced spelling
rather
than the bare id plus its team scope is no longer resolved. That spelling is
what made a prefix match look like ownership.
