Rule Protection Details
Description: An SQL Injection vulnerability in Apache Superset exists due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. Specifically, certain engine-specific functions are not checked, which allows attackers to bypass Apache Superset's SQL authorization. To mitigate this, a new configuration key named DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS has been introduced. This key disallows the use of the following PostgreSQL functions: version, query_to_xml, inet_server_addr, and inet_client_addr. Additional functions can be added to this list for increased protection.This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.0.2.Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.2, which fixes the issue.
Impact: An attacker can inject arbitrary sql commands to view or change the database of the target by exploiting the vulnerability successfully.
Affected OS: Windows, Linux, Others
