Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-35798?

CVE-2023-35798 affects the following packages: apache-airflow-providers-odbc (PyPI), apache-airflow-providers-microsoft-mssql (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2023-35798?

Update apache-airflow-providers-odbc to 4.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-35798 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2023-35798 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-airflow-providers-odbc. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2023-35798 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2023-35798?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2023-35798 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2023-35798 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2023-35798 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2023-35798?

CVE-2023-35798 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.9%, placing it in the 56th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2023-35798 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2023-35798 was published on June 27, 2023 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow ODBC Provider, Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow MSSQL Provider.This vulnerability is considered low since it requires DAG code to use get_sqlalchemy_connection and someone with access to connection resources specifically updating the connection to exploit it.

This issue affects Apache Airflow ODBC Provider: before 4.0.0; Apache Airflow MSSQL Provider: before 3.4.1.

It is recommended to upgrade to a version that is not affected
