Overview

apache-superset is a modern, enterprise-ready business intelligence web application.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization via the UpdateChartCommand process. An attacker can gain unauthorized modification of dashboards by supplying dashboard IDs in the request body when updating chart properties through the REST API, as the validation logic does not verify write permissions for the specified dashboards.
