Description
Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow Drill Provider.
Apache Airflow Drill Provider is affected by a vulnerability that allows an attacker to pass in malicious parameters when establishing a connection with DrillHook giving an opportunity to read files on the Airflow server. This issue affects Apache Airflow Drill Provider before 2.4.3. It is recommended to upgrade to a version that is not affected.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-airflow-providers-apache-drill. 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.
Fix
Update apache-airflow-providers-apache-drill to 2.4.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mq4v-6vg4-796c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-mq4v-6vg4-796c is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-mq4v-6vg4-796c. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
