Apache Superset: Improper data authorization when creating a new dataset (CVE-2024-24779)
Apache Superset versions before 3.0.4 and from 3.1.0 before 3.1.1 contain a vulnerability that allows users with custom roles including 'can write on dataset' but without full data access permissions to create virtual datasets accessing unauthorized data. This improper data authorization flaw can lead to unauthorized data exposure. The issue is fixed in versions 3.0.4 and 3.1.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Apache Superset has an improper data authorization vulnerability (CVE-2024-24779) affecting versions before 3.0.4 and from 3.1.0 before 3.1.1. Users assigned custom roles that permit dataset creation but lack full data access permissions can exploit this flaw by creating virtual datasets that expose data they should not access. This bypasses intended access controls and allows unauthorized data retrieval. The vulnerability is resolved by upgrading to versions 3.0.4 or 3.1.1.
Potential Impact
Users with limited dataset write permissions but without full data access can gain unauthorized access to data by creating virtual datasets. This leads to potential data exposure beyond the intended access controls, compromising data confidentiality within affected Apache Superset deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Apache Superset to version 3.0.4 or 3.1.1 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Applying these official fixes will prevent unauthorized data access via virtual dataset creation. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
