Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

CVE-2025-30473

High
8.8/10

Summary

An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (SQL Injection) vulnerability exists in the Apache Airflow Common SQL Provider. When using the "partition" clause in the "SQLTableCheckOperator" as a parameter (which was a recommended pattern), an authenticated UI user could inject arbitrary SQL commands when triggering a DAG that exposed the "partition_clause" to the user. This allowed the DAG-triggering user to escalate privileges and execute commands that they would not normally have permission to run. This issue affects apache-airflow-providers-common-sql package versions prior to 1.24.1rc1.

CWE-89 - SQL Injection

Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks are one of the most common types of vulnerabilities. They exploit weaknesses in vulnerable applications to gain unauthorized access to backend databases. This often occurs when an attacker enters unexpected SQL syntax in an input field. The resulting SQL statement behaves in the background in an unintended manner, which allows the possibility of unauthorized data retrieval, data modification, execution of database administration operations, and execution of commands on the operating system.
