CVE-2023-47037:
Apache Airflow vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
Apache Airflow versions before 2.7.3 is affected by a vulnerability (CVE-2023-47037) that was discovered due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40611 in version 2.7.1. The vulnerability allows authenticated and DAG-view authorized users to modify certain DAG run detail values when submitting notes (Apache Advisory).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 4.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The issue stems from insufficient validation of read-only fields in DagRunEditForm and TaskInstanceEditForm, allowing authorized users to modify values that should be immutable (NVD).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated users with DAG-view authorization to modify DAG run details that should be read-only, including configuration parameters and start date values (Apache Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Airflow version 2.7.3 or later, which has implemented proper validation for read-only fields and removed the vulnerability. The fix includes additional validation mechanisms for DagRunEditForm and TaskInstanceEditForm read-only fields (GitHub PR).
