CVE-2024-39887: Apache Superset: Improper SQL authorisation, parse not checking for specific engine functions

Published Jul 16, 2024
·
Updated

An SQL Injection vulnerability in Apache Superset exists due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. Specifically, certain engine-specific functions are not checked, which allows attackers to bypass Apache Superset's SQL authorization. To mitigate this, a new configuration key named DISALLOWEDSQLFUNCTIONS has been introduced. This key disallows the use of the following PostgreSQL functions: version, querytoxml, inetserveraddr, and inetclientaddr. Additional functions can be added to this list for increased protection.

This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.0.2.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.2, which fixes the issue.
