AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2025-30473, organizations should immediately upgrade Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider to version 1.24.1 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. Beyond patching, restrict UI access to trusted and authenticated users only, enforcing the principle of least privilege to minimize the risk of malicious DAG triggering. Implement network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure of Airflow instances to untrusted networks. Monitor Airflow logs and audit trails for unusual DAG trigger activities or unexpected SQL commands. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the partition_clause parameter. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews of custom DAGs to ensure no unsafe SQL concatenation practices are used. Finally, educate users and administrators about the risks of SQL injection and the importance of secure parameter handling in Airflow workflows.
Description
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider. When using the partition clause in SQLTableCheckOperator as parameter (which was a recommended pattern), Authenticated UI User could inject arbitrary SQL command when triggering DAG exposing partition_clause to the user. This allowed the DAG Triggering user to escalate privileges to execute those arbitrary commands which they normally would not have. This issue affects Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider: before 1.24.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.24.1, which fixes the issue.
