GHSA-5r62-mjf5-xwhj: Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider Vulnerable to SQL Injection
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’) vulnerability in Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider.
When using the partition clause in SQLTableCheckOperator as parameter (which was a recommended pattern), Authenticated UI User could inject arbitrary SQL command when triggering DAG exposing partition_clause to the user. This allowed the DAG Triggering user to escalate privileges to execute those arbitrary commands which they normally would not have.
This issue affects Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider: before 1.24.1.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.24.1, which fixes the issue.
Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
