An Improper Authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Superset allowing an authenticated user with permissions to update charts to modify dashboards they do not own. When updating a chart's properties via the REST API, a user can provide a list of dashboard IDs (dashboards) to associate the chart with. The validation logic in the UpdateChartCommand failed to verify that the user had write permissions for the target dashboards specified in the request body.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in Apache Superset versions 1.5.0 through 5.0.0. The vulnerability is located in the sqlparse.py component, specifically within the SQLREGEX used for parsing SQL statements in the sqlparse library integration. The affected regular expression contains overlapping disjunctions that share a common outer quantifier. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a maliciously crafted input string (specifically a long sequence of backslashes or similar characters) to endpoints that process SQL queries
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
Workarounds: ● WAF Rules: Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block requests containing excessively long sequences of backslashes or suspicious repeated patterns in the queries.extras.where parameter. ● Rate Limiting: Ensure strict rate limiting is applied to the /api/v1/chart/data endpoint to reduce the impact of potential attacks.

Original Description With correct CVE version ranges for affected Apache Superset. Uncontrolled resource consumption can be triggered by authenticated attacker that uploads a malicious ZIP to import database, dashboards or datasets. This vulnerability exists in Apache Superset versions up to and including 2.1.2 and versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1.
Apache Superset contains an insecure default initialization of a resource vulnerability that allows an attacker to authenticate and access unauthorized resources on installations that have not altered the default configured SECRETKEY according to installation instructions.
An information disclosure issue was found in Apache Superset 0.34.0, 0.34.1, 0.35.0, and 0.35.1. Authenticated Apache Superset users are able to retrieve other users' information, including hashed passwords, by accessing an unused and undocumented API endpoint on Apache Superset.
Apache Superset utilizes a configurable dictionary, DISALLOWEDSQLFUNCTIONS, to restrict the execution of potentially sensitive SQL functions within SQL Lab and charts. While this feature included restrictions for engines like PostgreSQL, a vulnerability was reported where the default list for the ClickHouse engine was incomplete.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.2.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.2, which fixes the issue.
An Improper Input Validation vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows an authenticated user with SQLLab access to bypass the read-only verification check when using a PostgreSQL database connection. While the system effectively blocks standard Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on read-only connections, it fails to detect them in specially crafted SQL statements.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
An Improper Authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows a low-privileged user to bypass data access controls. When creating a dataset, Superset enforces permission checks to prevent users from querying unauthorized data. However, an authenticated attacker with permissions to write datasets and read charts can bypass these checks by overwriting the SQL query of an existing dataset.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
A Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerability exists in Apache Superset allowing authenticated users to retrieve sensitive user information. The Tag endpoint (disabled by default) allows users to retrieve a list of objects associated with a specific tag. When these associated objects include Users, the API response improperly serializes and returns sensitive fields, including password hashes (pbkdf2), email addresses, and login statistics. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with low privileges (e.g., Gamma role) to view sensitive authentication data
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue or make sure TAGGINGSYSTEM is False (Apache Superset current default)
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Superset allows an authenticated user with read access to conduct error-based SQL injection via the sqlExpression or where parameters.

Improper Authorization vulnerability in Apache Superset allows ownership takeover of dashboards, charts or datasets by authenticated users with read permissions.
This issue affects Apache Superset: through 4.1.1.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.2 or above, which fixes the issue.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Apache Superset before 3.0.3. An authenticated attacker with create/update permissions on charts or dashboards could store a script or add a specific HTML snippet that would act as a stored XSS.
For 2.X versions, users should change their config to include:
TALISMANCONFIG = { "contentsecuritypolicy": { "base-uri": ["'self'"], "default-src": ["'self'"], "img-src": ["'self'", "blob:", "data:"], "worker-src": ["'self'", "blob:"], "connect-src": [ "'self'", " https://api.mapbox.com" https://api.mapbox.com" ;, " https://events.mapbox.com" https://events.mapbox.com" ;, ], "object-src": "'none'", "style-src": [ "'self'", "'unsafe-inline'", ], "script-src": ["'self'", "'strict-dynamic'"], }, "contentsecuritypolicynoncein": ["script-src"], "forcehttps": False, "sessioncookiesecure": False, }
Unnecessary read permissions within the Gamma role would allow authenticated users to read configured CSS templates and annotations. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 2.1.2. Users should upgrade to version or above 2.1.2 and run superset init to reconstruct the Gamma role or remove canread permission from the mentioned resources.
An authenticated malicious actor using specially crafted requests could bypass row level security configuration by injecting SQL into 'sqlExpression' fields. This allowed the execution of sub-queries to evade parsing defenses ultimately granting unauthorized access to data.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.2.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.2, which fixes the issue.

A low privilege authenticated user could import an existing dashboard or chart that they do not have access to and then modify its metadata, thereby gaining ownership of the object. However, it's important to note that access to the analytical data of these charts and dashboards would still be subject to validation based on data access privileges.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 3.0.4, from 3.1.0 before 3.1.1.Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.1.1, which fixes the issue.
A vulnerability in the SQL Alchemy connector of Apache Superset allows an authenticated user with read access to a specific database to add subqueries to the WHERE and HAVING fields referencing tables on the same database that the user should not have access to, despite the user having the feature flag "ALLOWADHOCSUBQUERY" disabled (default value). This issue affects Apache Superset version 1.5.2 and prior versions and version 2.0.0.
Upload data forms do not correctly render user input leading to possible XSS attack vectors that can be performed by authenticated users with database connection update permissions. This issue affects Apache Superset version 1.5.2 and prior versions and version 2.0.0.
When explicitly enabling the feature flag DASHBOARDCACHE (disabled by default), the system allowed for an unauthenticated user to access dashboard configuration metadata using a REST API Get endpoint. This issue affects Apache Superset version 1.5.2 and prior versions and version 2.0.0.
An authenticated attacker with write CSS template permissions can create a record with specific HTML tags that will not get properly escaped by the toast message displayed when a user deletes that specific CSS template record. This issue affects Apache Superset version 1.5.2 and prior versions and version 2.0.0.
An authenticated attacker with update datasets permission could change a dataset link to an untrusted site, users could be redirected to this site when clicking on that specific dataset. This issue affects Apache Superset version 1.5.2 and prior versions and version 2.0.0.
Two legacy REST API endpoints for approval and request access are vulnerable to cross site request forgery. This issue affects Apache Superset version 1.5.2 and prior versions and version 2.0.0.
