Apache Airflow 1.10.10 Remote Code Execution

                							

                # Exploit Title: Apache Airflow 1.10.10 - 'Example Dag' Remote Code Execution 
# Date: 2021-06-02
# Exploit Author: Pepe Berba
# Vendor Homepage: https://airflow.apache.org/
# Software Link: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/installation.html
# Version: <= 1.10.10
# Tested on: Docker apache/airflow:1.10 .10 (https://github.com/pberba/CVE-2020-11978/blob/main/docker-compose.yml)
# CVE : CVE-2020-11978
# 
# This is a proof of concept for CVE-2020-11978, a RCE vulnerability in one of the example DAGs shipped with airflow
# This combines with CVE-2020-13927 where unauthenticated requests to Airflow's Experimental API were allowded by default.
# Together, potentially allows unauthenticated RCE to Airflow 
# 
# Repo: https://github.com/pberba/CVE-2020-11978
# More information can be found here:  
# https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r23a81b247aa346ff193670be565b2b8ea4b17ddbc7a35fc099c1aadd%40%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E
# https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r7255cf0be3566f23a768e2a04b40fb09e52fcd1872695428ba9afe91%40%3Cusers.airflow.apache.org%3E
#
# Remediation:
# For CVE-2020-13927 make sure that the config `[api]auth_backend = airflow.api.auth.backend.deny_all` or has auth set.
# For CVE-2020-11978 use 1.10.11 or set `load_examples=False` when initializing Airflow. You can also manually delete example_trigger_target_dag DAG.
#
# Example usage: python CVE-2020-11978.py http://127.0.0.1:8080 "touch test"
