Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-24 14:16 - Updated: 2026-02-25 14:38
Severity ?
6.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
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.

      "value": "Hay una vulnerabilidad de autorizaci\u00f3n indebida en Apache Superset que permite a un usuario con pocos privilegios eludir los controles de acceso a los datos. Al crear un conjunto de datos, Superset aplica comprobaciones de permisos para evitar que los usuarios consulten datos no autorizados. Sin embargo, un atacante autenticado con permisos para escribir conjuntos de datos y leer gr\u00e1ficos puede eludir estas comprobaciones sobrescribiendo la consulta SQL de un conjunto de datos existente.\n\nEste problema afecta a Apache Superset: antes de la versi\u00f3n 6.0.0.\n\nSe recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versi\u00f3n 6.0.0, que corrige el problema."
