CVE-2023-25692
Improper Input Validation vulnerability in apache-airflow-providers-google (PyPI)
What is CVE-2023-25692 About?
This vulnerability is an improper input validation flaw in the Apache Airflow Google Provider prior to version 8.10.0. The lack of proper validation allows an attacker to provide malicious input that can be processed erroneously. The specific impact isn't detailed but typically involves unexpected behavior or security bypasses, and exploitation likely depends on specific input channels.
Affected Software
Technical Details
The vulnerability is described as an improper input validation issue affecting the Apache Airflow Google Provider in versions older than 8.10.0. This means that certain inputs processed by the Google Provider are not adequately checked for their format, type, or content before being used. Such a flaw can lead to various issues, depending on where the unchecked input is used. For instance, if the provider uses the input in shell commands, it could lead to command injection; if used in database queries, it could lead to SQL injection; or if used in configuration, it could lead to misconfiguration. The lack of specific details implies a broad oversight in input handling rather than a single, specific parsing bug. Attackers could theoretically craft malformed inputs to trigger unexpected behavior or bypass security controls where input validation should have been present.
What is the Impact of CVE-2023-25692?
Successful exploitation may allow attackers to introduce unexpected behavior, bypass security controls, or trigger error conditions depending on how the improperly validated input is processed.
What is the Exploitability of CVE-2023-25692?
Exploitation complexity is likely moderate, as it requires knowledge of the specific input channels and parameters handled by the Apache Airflow Google Provider. Authentication to the Airflow system is generally a prerequisite, with privileges to configure or submit tasks that utilize the Google Provider. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely if the Airflow instance is accessible over the network and the attacker can interact with the Google Provider functionalities. There are no explicitly mentioned special conditions, but the precise impact would depend on the context of the unvalidated input (e.g., which Google service interaction is affected). The likelihood of exploitation increases if the Airflow environment has lax access controls or if users commonly configure complex Google Provider tasks with dynamic or untrusted input.
