Summary

A vulnerability in the Teradata provider for Apache Airflow affects the example Dag, which defines parameters as free text and templates them into operators, allowing a user with lower privileges to inject SQL fragments. This can lead to code execution under the task's connection and redirect the task to other connections.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized SQL code execution in the Teradata database, potentially leading to data integrity issues or privilege escalation. This affects only deployments running the example Dag or a copy of it.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade apache-airflow-providers-teradata to version 3.7.0 or later, which constrains parameters to validated identifiers and a closed value set. Users who copied the Dag should apply the same constraints.

Other vulnerabilities in Apache Airflow Teradata provider

Original NVD description (English source)

The Apache Airflow Teradata provider's compute-cluster example Dag declared every one of its Dag Params as unconstrained free text and templated them straight into the compute-cluster operators, which interpolate those values into Teradata DDL. A user who is permitted to trigger that Dag - a lower-trust role than the Dag author, and one that needs no Teradata credentials of its own - could therefore supply SQL fragments that execute under the connection the task runs as, and could additionally redirect the task at any other connection defined in the deployment, because the connection id was itself a free-text Param. Only deployments that run this example Dag, or a Dag copied from it, are affected; the provider's operator code is unchanged. Users of apache-airflow-providers-teradata are recommended to upgrade to version 3.7.0 or later, whose example constrains the Params to validated identifiers and a closed value set and removes connection selection and free-form option strings from trigger-time input. Upgrading does not change a Dag already copied from the example; users who copied it should apply the same constraints to their copy.
