Apache Airflow Configuration Exposure

Apache Airflow Configuration Exposure

Attacker can get unauthorized access to Apache Airflow configuration files.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

"Apache Airflow Configuration Exposure is a vulnerability that arises from misconfigured settings in Apache Airflow, an open-source workflow management platform. The misconfiguration exposes critical configuration files containing sensitive information, such as API keys and database credentials. This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. Attackers can exploit the exposed configurations to gain unauthorized access, manipulate workflows, and compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the system. It is crucial to address this issue promptly to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and protect sensitive data."

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API requests to be executed. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 300) and the extraction of the URL into a variable called "urlVar".

Execute request

The execute section defines the type of request to be executed, which is "single" in this case. It also specifies the request to be made, which includes modifying the URL by appending "/airflow.cfg" to the extracted URL variable (${urlVar}).

Validation

The validation section defines the criteria for validating the response of the executed request. It includes checking the response code to be within the range of 200 to 300 and ensuring that the response payload contains specific strings, such as '[core]' and '[api]'. If the validation criteria are met, the request is considered successful.
