Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2024-29733 is an Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability affecting Apache Airflow FTP Provider versions before 3.7.0. The vulnerability was discovered by Eric Brown of Secure Sauce LLC and disclosed in April 2024. The issue exists in the FTP hook component which lacks complete certificate validation in FTP_TLS connections (Apache Security).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from incomplete certificate validation in FTP_TLS connections within the Apache Airflow FTP Provider. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 2.7 (LOW) with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N. The issue is classified as CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation) (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability could potentially be leveraged to perform man-in-the-middle attacks due to improper certificate validation in FTP_TLS connections. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information transmitted over these connections (Apache Security).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow FTP Provider version 3.7.0 or later, which fixes the issue by implementing proper certificate validation. The fix involves passing context=ssl.createdefaultcontext() during FTP_TLS instantiation to validate the certificates properly (Apache Security, GitHub PR).
