Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Hive Provider is installedRun `pip show apache-airflow-providers-hive` or check your requirements/pip list for the `apache-airflow-providers-hive` packageAffected if The package is not installed or the version cannot be determined
-
Check installed Hive Provider versionRun `pip show apache-airflow-providers-hive` and look for the Version field, or run `pip list | grep airflow-providers-hive`Affected if The installed version is lower than 6.1.2 (e.g., 6.1.1, 6.1.0, 5.x.x)
-
Identify use of proxy_user configurationSearch Airflow DAGs, configuration files, and Hive hook connections for any use of the `proxy_user` parameter in Hive-related operators, hooks, or connectionsAffected if The proxy_user parameter is being used to pass user-supplied or external input without sanitization
You are affected if the apache-airflow-providers-hive package is installed with a version lower than 6.1.2 AND the proxy_user option in your Hive connections or operators accepts unsanitized external input.
