Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apache Superset versions 2.0.0 through 4.1.0

Description: The issue is related to an improper authorization procedure in the FAB ADD SECURITY API component of Apache Superset, allowing lower privilege users to use this API.

Recommendations: For Apache Superset versions 2.0.0 through 4.0.0, upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue. For Apache Superset versions prior to 2.0.0, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
