Apache Superset: Privilege escalation with default examples database

Published Nov 27, 2023 · Updated Jun 3, 2025 · Assigned by apache

Description

Improper authorization check and possible privilege escalation on Apache Superset up to but excluding 2.1.2. Using the default examples database connection that allows access to both the examples schema and Apache Superset's metadata database, an attacker using a specially crafted CTE SQL statement could change data on the metadata database. This weakness could result on tampering with the authentication/authorization data.
