Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2023-22884 is a command injection vulnerability in Apache Airflow (prior to 2.5.1) and the Apache Airflow MySQL Provider (prior to 4.0.0). The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary commands via crafted input.

This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2023-22884, a command injection vulnerability in Apache Airflow (<=2.5.0) with the MySQL provider (<=3.4.0). The exploit demonstrates how an attacker with valid Airflow credentials can leverage a SQL injection in the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement to achieve command injection and potentially remote code execution. The repository includes a Docker-based Airflow environment for testing, a vulnerable DAG (bulk_load_from_file.py), and a Python exploit script (exploit.py) that automates the attack. The exploit script logs into the Airflow web interface, verifies the target's vulnerability, and triggers a DAG run with a malicious configuration (as seen in dag_config.json) to exploit the vulnerability. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the Airflow webserver (default at http://localhost:8080). The repository is structured for easy setup and demonstration of the vulnerability, making it suitable for research and defensive development.
