HTTP: Apache Airflow DAG Remote Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Apache Airflow. A successful attack can lead to command injection and arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

An issue was found in Apache Airflow versions 1.10.10 and below. A remote code/command injection vulnerability was discovered in one of the example DAGs shipped with Airflow which would allow any authenticated user to run arbitrary commands as the user running airflow worker/scheduler (depending on the executor in use). If you already have examples disabled by setting load_examples=False in the config then you are not vulnerable.
