[CVE-2020-13952] Apache Superset Information Disclosure Vulnerability


From: Will Barrett <barrett.william () gmail com>
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 10:34:33 -0700

Affected Versions: Apache Superset < 0.37.2

In the course of work on the open source project it was discovered that authenticated users running queries against 
Hive and Presto database engines could access information via a number of templated fields including the contents of 
query description metadata database, the hashed version of the authenticated users’ password, and access to connection 
information including the plaintext password for the current connection. It would also be possible to run arbitrary 
methods on the database connection object for the Presto or Hive connection, allowing the user to bypass security 
controls internal to Superset. This vulnerability is present in every Apache Superset version < 0.37.2.
