Upgrade apache-airflow-providers-sftp to version 7.0.0 or higher.
Overview
apache-airflow-providers-sftp is a Provider package apache-airflow-providers-sftp for Apache Airflow
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Key Exchange without Entity Authentication via the deferrable code paths SFTPTrigger, SFTPHookAsync, and SFTPClientPool, which disable SSH host-key verification by default. When a connection does not explicitly set no_host_key_check to false, paramiko's AutoAddPolicy or known_hosts=None is applied on asyncssh paths, allowing an attacker positioned between the Airflow worker and the SFTP server to perform a MitM attack and intercept or tamper with transferred data.
Note: This is only exploitable on the deferrable code paths (SFTPTrigger, SFTPHookAsync, SFTPClientPool) when the connection does not explicitly set no_host_key_check to false.
