Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
Apache Airflow Docker's Provider versions prior to 3.0.0 contained a vulnerability in an example DAG that allowed authenticated users to execute remote code on the Airflow worker host. The vulnerability was identified as CVE-2022-38362 and was disclosed on August 16, 2022 (Apache Advisory, NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. This indicates that the vulnerability requires network access and low privileges to exploit, requires no user interaction, and can result in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).
Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the Airflow worker host, potentially leading to complete system compromise (Openwall).
Mitigation and workarounds
Two mitigation options are available: either disable the loading of example DAGs or upgrade the apache-airflow-providers-docker package to version 3.0.0 or above (Openwall).
