AI-suggested
Upgrade Apache Superset to version 4.0.2 or later, which includes the fix introducing the DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS configuration to block dangerous PostgreSQL functions. Users can also customize this configuration to add additional disallowed functions for enhanced protection.
Description
Apache Superset versions before 4.0.2 contain an SQL Injection vulnerability due to improper authorization checks on certain PostgreSQL engine-specific functions. This allows attackers to bypass SQL authorization by exploiting functions such as version, query_to_xml, inet_server_addr, and inet_client_addr. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4.0.2 by introducing a configuration key to disallow these functions.
