🦠 New vulnerabilities discovered in Azure Data Factory’s Apache Airflow integration pose significant risks. Unit 42 researchers identified multiple security flaws in Azure Data Factory’s integration with Apache Airflow, including misconfigured Kubernetes RBAC and weak authentication for Azure’s Geneva service. Although Microsoft classified these vulnerabilities as low severity, they could allow attackers to gain unauthorized administrative control over Airflow clusters, leading to potential data exfiltration and malware deployment. The vulnerabilities enable attackers to manipulate DAG files and exploit Azure’s internal services, raising concerns about the security of cloud environments. Mitigation strategies are essential to safeguard against these threats, emphasizing the need for careful management of service permissions and monitoring of third-party services.
