CVE-2024-27315
Apache Superset vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2024-27315 affects Apache Superset, where an authenticated user with privileges to create Alerts on Alerts & Reports can generate specially crafted SQL statements that trigger database errors. These errors are not properly handled and may expose sensitive data in the Alert error log. The vulnerability affects Apache Superset versions before 3.0.4 and versions 3.1.0 before 3.1.1 (Apache Advisory, OSS Security).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-209 (Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 4.3 (MEDIUM). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), with scope unchanged (S:U), and low confidentiality impact (C:L) with no impact on integrity (I:N) or availability (A:N) (NVD).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability can lead to the exposure of sensitive data through error logs. The impact is primarily focused on confidentiality, as the improper error handling may reveal database information that should remain private (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to either version 3.1.1 or 3.0.4, which contain fixes for this vulnerability (Apache Advisory).
