Improper Certificate Validation
CVE-2024-29733
Summary
Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in Apache Airflow FTP Provider. The FTP hook lacks complete certificate validation in "FTP_TLS connections", which can potentially be leveraged. Implementing proper certificate validation by passing "context=ssl.create_default_context()" during "FTP_TLS" instantiation is used as mitigation to validate the certificates properly. This issue affects apache-airflow-providers-ftp versions through 3.8.0rc1.

CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
The authenticity component of a web system stems from the ability to validate “Digital certificates”, which (i) establish trust between two or more entities sharing data over a network; (ii) ensure data at rest and transit is secure from unauthorized access; and (iii) check the identity of the actors that interact with the system. An application with absent or ineffective certificate validation mechanisms allows malicious users, impersonating trusted hosts, to manipulate the communication path between the client and the host, resulting in unauthorized access to data and to the application’s internal environment, and potentially enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.
