Recent Apache Superset Security Vulnerabilities

An Incorrect authorisation check in SQLLab in Apache Superset versions up to and including 2.1.0

CVE-2023-32672 4.3 - Medium - September 06, 2023

An Incorrect authorisation check in SQLLab in Apache Superset versions up to and including 2.1.0. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to query tables that they do not have proper access to within Superset. The vulnerability can be exploited by leveraging a SQL parsing vulnerability.

AuthZ

If an attacker gains write access to the Apache Superset metadata database, they could persist a specifically crafted Python object

CVE-2023-37941 6.6 - Medium - September 06, 2023

If an attacker gains write access to the Apache Superset metadata database, they could persist a specifically crafted Python object that may lead to remote code execution on Superset's web backend. The Superset metadata db is an 'internal' component that is typically only accessible directly by the system administrator and the superset process itself. Gaining access to that database should be difficult and require significant privileges. This vulnerability impacts Apache Superset versions 1.5.0 up to and including 2.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.1 or later.

While investigating a bug report on Apache Superset, it was determined

CVE-2020-13948 8.8 - High - September 17, 2020

While investigating a bug report on Apache Superset, it was determined that an authenticated user could craft requests via a number of templated text fields in the product that would allow arbitrary access to Pythons `os` package in the web application process in versions < 0.37.1. It was thus possible for an authenticated user to list and access files, environment variables, and process information. Additionally it was possible to set environment variables for the current process, create and update files in folders writable by the web process, and execute arbitrary programs accessible by the web process. All other operations available to the `os` package in Python were also available, even if not explicitly enumerated in this CVE.
