AI-suggested

Upgrade Apache Superset to version 5.0.0 or later, where this improper access control vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

Apache Superset before version 5.0.0 has an improper access control vulnerability in the /explore endpoint. Authenticated users can bypass authorization checks to discover metadata about datasources they are not permitted to access by enumerating datasource IDs. This leads to sensitive information disclosure. The issue is fixed in version 5.0.0.
