CVE-2026-23982 PUBLISHED

Apache Superset: Improper Authorization in Dataset Creation Allows Access Control Bypass

Assigner: apache
Reserved: 19.01.2026 Published: 24.02.2026 Updated: 24.02.2026

An Improper Authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows a low-privileged user to bypass data access controls. When creating a dataset, Superset enforces permission checks to prevent users from querying unauthorized data. However, an authenticated attacker with permissions to write datasets and read charts can bypass these checks by overwriting the SQL query of an existing dataset.

This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
