Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow Spark Provider before 4.1.3

Description:

Deserialization of Untrusted Data, Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted 
Control Sphere vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow Spark 
Provider.

When the Apache Spark provider is installed on an Airflow deployment, an 
Airflow user that is authorized to configure Spark hooks can effectively run 
arbitrary code on the Airflow node by pointing it at a malicious Spark server. 
Prior to version 4.1.3, this was not called out in the documentation 
explicitly, so it is possible that administrators provided authorizations to 
configure Spark hooks without taking this into account. We recommend 
administrators to review their configurations to make sure the authorization to 
configure Spark hooks is only provided to fully trusted users.
