CVE-2026-23984
Plain English Summary
AI-powered analysis for quick understanding
This vulnerability allows an authenticated user with access to SQLLab in Apache Superset to bypass restrictions and execute unauthorized data manipulation commands on a PostgreSQL database, even though the system is supposed to prevent such actions. To exploit this, the attacker must have valid credentials and access to the SQLLab feature before the software is updated to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
Technical Description
An Improper Input Validation vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows an authenticated user with SQLLab access to bypass the read-only verification check when using a PostgreSQL database connection. While the system effectively blocks standard Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on read-only connections, it fails to detect them in specially crafted SQL statements. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.

Related Vulnerabilities
This vulnerability allows an attacker to access files outside of the intended directory on an Apache Livy server, potentially exposing sensitive data. It can only be exploited if the server is configured with a non-default setting for local directory access, so users should upgrade to version 0.9.0 to protect against this risk.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to access files they shouldn't be able to reach by sending specially crafted requests to Apache Livy's REST or JDBC interface. To exploit this, the attacker must already have access to these interfaces and be able to include specific Spark configuration values in their requests.
An attacker could gain unauthorized access to different AWS instances by reusing SAML authentication responses from other instances, potentially bypassing access controls. This vulnerability occurs because the system does not verify the origin of the SAML response against the actual instance URL, so it's crucial to upgrade to version 9.22.0 of the provider if you're using AWS Auth Manager.
This vulnerability allows an attacker with access to the database to run unauthorized code, effectively giving them the same permissions as the original creator of workflows in Airflow. While direct access to the database is uncommon and not recommended, upgrading to version 6.0.0 of the provider is essential to eliminate this risk.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to send malicious input to Apache IoTDB, potentially leading to unauthorized access or manipulation of data. It affects versions 1.0.0 to 1.3.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.6, so users should upgrade to the latest versions to protect against this risk.
