CVE-2024-25141Network attack vector

Traffic interception via disabled certificate validation

Published Feb 20, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Improper certificate validation in Apache Airflow Mongo Provider 1.0.0 through 3.6.0 allows remote attackers to intercept MongoDB connections. MongoHook unconditionally enables PyMongo's tlsAllowInvalidCertificates option when SSL is selected, accepting untrusted server certificates. An attacker positioned on the MongoDB network path can read or alter data exchanged by affected Airflow tasks; availability is unaffected.
