AI-suggested
Upgrade Apache Superset to version 4.1.1 or later, which includes the fix for this vulnerability. Alternatively, users can manually add the PostgreSQL functions query_to_xml_and_xmlschema, table_to_xml, and table_to_xml_and_xmlschema to the DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS configuration setting to mitigate the issue.
Description
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Superset. Specifically, certain engine-specific functions are not checked, which allows attackers to bypass Apache Superset's SQL authorization. This issue is a follow-up to CVE-2024-39887 with additional disallowed PostgreSQL functions now included: query_to_xml_and_xmlschema, table_to_xml, table_to_xml_and_xmlschema. This issue affects Apache Superset: <4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue or add these Postgres functions to the config set DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS.
