Gaining access to that database should\n be difficult and require significant privileges.\n\nThis vulnerability impacts Apache Superset versions 1.5.0 up to and including 2.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.1 or later.","published":"2023-09-06T14:15:10.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T06:08:57.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.6,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-502"],"affected":["apache/superset"],"epss":{"score":0.35455,"percentile":0.98454,"date":"2026-11-03","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 35.5%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs.
