Apache Superset <5.0.0 Bypass DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS
CVE-2025-55674 Published on August 14, 2025
Apache Superset: Improper SQL authorisation, parse not checking for specific engine functions
A bypass of the DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS security feature in Apache Superset allows for the execution of blocked SQL functions. An attacker can use a special inline block to circumvent the denylist. This allows a user with SQL Lab access to execute functions that were intended to be disabled, leading to the disclosure of sensitive database information like the software version.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 5.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.0.0, which fixes the issue.
