CVE-2023-25956
Information Disclosure vulnerability in apache-airflow-providers-amazon (PyPI)
What is CVE-2023-25956 About?
This vulnerability is an Information Disclosure issue in Apache Airflow AWS Provider versions before 7.2.1, related to the generation of error messages containing sensitive information. Malicious actors could exploit this by triggering specific error conditions, causing the system to reveal details that should remain confidential. Exploitation depends on the ability to trigger these error messages.
Affected Software
Technical Details
The Apache Airflow AWS Provider, in versions prior to 7.2.1, is vulnerable to information disclosure due to improperly generated error messages. When certain error conditions are met, the application includes sensitive operational or environmental details within the error message, rather than a generic or sanitized message. An attacker can craft requests or operations designed to provoke these errors. The error message, containing details such as file paths, environment variables, internal system configurations, or debugging information, is then returned to the attacker, providing valuable insights for further exploitation or mapping the system's architecture.
What is the Impact of CVE-2023-25956?
Successful exploitation may allow attackers to gather sensitive system information, internal configurations, or debug data, which can aid in further, more targeted attacks or system mapping.
What is the Exploitability of CVE-2023-25956?
Exploitation complexity is moderate, requiring an attacker to understand what types of inputs or operations will trigger the sensitive error messages. It may require some authentication depending on which operations provoke the errors. The vulnerability is typically remote, as the attacker can interact with the Airflow AWS Provider over the network. No specific privileges are necessary beyond the ability to interact with the system in a way that generates the verbose error. The primary constraint is identifying and triggering the specific error-generating conditions. Risk factors include exposing the Airflow AWS Provider to untrusted users and insufficient logging or error handling configurations.
