CVE-2025-48912
Apache Superset: Improper authorization bypass on row level security via SQL Injection
Description
An authenticated malicious actor using specially crafted requests could bypass row level security configuration by injecting SQL into 'sqlExpression' fields. This allowed the execution of sub-queries to evade parsing defenses ultimately granting unauthorized access to data. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.2, which fixes the issue.
