Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow Sqoop Provider before 4.0.0

Description:

Apache Airflow Sqoop Provider, versions before 4.0.0, is affected by a vulnerability that allows an attacker pass 
parameters with the connections, which makes it possible to implement RCE attacks via ‘sqoop import --connect’, obtain 
airflow server permissions, etc. The attacker needs to be logged in and have authorization (permissions) to create/edit 
connections.

 It is recommended to upgrade to a version that is not affected.
