CVE-2023-40610: Apache Superset: Privilege escalation with default examples database

[Daniel Gaspar <dpgaspar () apache org>]

Affected versions:

- Apache Superset before 2.1.2

Description:

Improper authorization check and possible privilege escalation on Apache Superset up to but excluding 2.1.2. Using the 
default examples database connection that allows access to both the examples schema and Apache Superset's metadata 
database, an attacker using a specially crafted CTE SQL statement could change data on the metadata database. This 
weakness could result on tampering with the authentication/authorization data.
