CVE-2023-37379: Apache Airflow: Exposure of sensitive connection information, DOS and SSRF on "test connection" feature

[Ephraim Anierobi <ephraimanierobi () apache org>]

Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow before 2.7.0

Description:

Apache Airflow, in versions prior to 2.7.0, contains a security vulnerability that can be exploited by an authenticated 
user possessing Connection edit privileges. This vulnerability allows the user to access connection information and 
exploit the test connection feature by sending many requests, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition on the 
server. Furthermore, malicious actors can leverage this vulnerability to establish harmful connections with the server.

Users of Apache Airflow are strongly advised to upgrade to version 2.7.0 or newer to mitigate the risk associated with 
this vulnerability. Additionally, administrators are encouraged to review and adjust user permissions to restrict 
access to sensitive functionalities, reducing the attack surface.
