Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Detect exploitation attempts by matching the vulnerable DAG ID 'example_passing_params_via_test_command' in HTTP requests to the Airflow trigger or code endpoints ↗
- →Detect exploitation attempts by matching the vulnerable DAG ID 'tutorial' in HTTP POST requests to the Airflow trigger endpoint, combined with JSON body containing 'my_param' key ↗
- →Alert on HTTP responses from Airflow containing the unrendered Jinja2 template string indicating an unauthenticated/vulnerable instance ↗
- →Detect OS command injection payloads in Airflow DAG trigger POST bodies: look for semicolons and shell metacharacters within JSON param values (e.g., params containing '";' sequences) ↗
- →Monitor for reverse shell patterns (e.g., bash -i >& /dev/tcp/) in Airflow DAG trigger request bodies targeting the foo or my_param parameters ↗
- →Use Shodan/FOFA queries to identify exposed Airflow instances: match on page title 'sign in - airflow' or HTML containing 'Apache Airflow' ↗
- ·The vulnerability only exists when example DAGs are loaded. Instances with '[core] load_examples = False' in their Airflow configuration are NOT affected. ↗
- ·The impact is significantly elevated when Airflow is configured for unauthenticated access, as exploitation requires no credentials in that case. ↗
- ·Two separate vulnerable DAGs are affected: 'example_passing_params_via_test_command.py' (params: foo, MIFF) and 'tutorial.py' (param: my_param), both assigned the same CVE. ↗
