Descriptions

An authenticated malicious actor using specially crafted requests could bypass row level security configuration by injecting SQL into 'sqlExpression' fields. This allowed the execution of sub-queries to evade parsing defenses ultimately granting unauthorized access to data. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.2, which fixes the issue.

Un agente malicioso autenticado que utiliza solicitudes especialmente manipuladas podría eludir la configuración de seguridad a nivel de fila inyectando SQL en los campos "sqlExpression". Esto permitió la ejecución de subconsultas para evadir las defensas de análisis, lo que finalmente permitió el acceso no autorizado a los datos. Este problema afecta a Apache Superset: versiones anteriores a la 4.1.2. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 4.1.2, que soluciona el problema.
