CVE-2025-48912: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Apache Software Foundation Apache Superset
CVE-2025-48912 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in Apache Superset before version 4.1.2. An authenticated attacker can inject SQL into 'sqlExpression' fields to bypass row level security and gain unauthorized data access. The issue is fixed in version 4.1.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) within Apache Superset. Authenticated malicious actors can craft requests that inject SQL into 'sqlExpression' fields, allowing execution of sub-queries that evade parsing defenses. This leads to bypassing row level security configurations and unauthorized data access. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 4.1.2, which contains the fix.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authentication privileges can exploit this flaw to bypass row level security controls and access data they are not authorized to view. This compromises data confidentiality within affected Apache Superset deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Superset to version 4.1.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated.
