Descriptions

Apache Airflow SMTP Provider before 1.3.0, Apache Airflow IMAP Provider before 3.3.0, and Apache Airflow before 2.7.0 are affected by the Validation of OpenSSL Certificate vulnerability.

The default SSL context with SSL library did not check a server's X.509 certificate.  Instead, the code accepted any certificate, which could result in the disclosure of mail server credentials or mail contents when the client connects to an attacker in a MITM position.

Users are strongly advised to upgrade to Apache Airflow version 2.7.0 or newer, Apache Airflow IMAP Provider version 3.3.0 or newer, and Apache Airflow SMTP Provider version 1.3.0 or newer to mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability

Apache Airflow SMTP Provider antes de 1.3.0, Apache Airflow IMAP Provider antes de 3.3.0, y Apache Airflow antes de 2.7.0 están afectados por la vulnerabilidad Validation of OpenSSL Certificate. El contexto SSL por defecto con la librería SSL no comprobaba el certificado X.509 de un servidor. En su lugar, el código aceptaba cualquier certificado, lo que podía dar lugar a la revelación de credenciales del servidor de correo o del contenido del correo cuando el cliente se conectaba a un atacante en posición MITM. Se recomienda encarecidamente a los usuarios que actualicen a Apache Airflow versión 2.7.0 o posterior, Apache Airflow IMAP Provider versión 3.3.0 o posterior y Apache Airflow SMTP Provider versión 1.3.0 o posterior para mitigar el riesgo asociado a esta vulnerabilidad.
