How to fix?

Upgrade apache-superset to version 1.5.3, 2.0.1 or higher.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') due to improper escape of HTML characters, which allows creating a record with specific HTML tags, that will trigger the exploitation via the toast message displayed when the user deletes the crafted CSS template record.

NOTE: Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by an authenticated attacker with write CSS template permissions.
