Apache Airflow, Special Element Injection, CVE-2025-XXXXX (Critical)

Listen to this Post

How the CVE Works

The CVE-2025-XXXXX vulnerability in Apache Airflow’s Snowflake provider (before v6.4.0) allows SQL injection via the CopyFromExternalStageToSnowflakeOperator. Attackers can manipulate table and stage parameters due to insufficient input sanitization, enabling arbitrary SQL execution. This occurs when untrusted input is passed directly into Snowflake queries, bypassing security controls. The fix in v6.4.0 implements proper parameter sanitization to block injection attempts.
