Overview

Apache Superset versions before 4.1.3 contain a metadata exposure vulnerability (CVE-2025-55673) discovered and disclosed on August 14, 2025. The vulnerability affects the embedded charts functionality, specifically when guest users access chart data through the application (Openwall OSS).
