SCA: security update for apache-superset (GHSA-3m2g-v7jf-7fxc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437990

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- An Improper Authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows a low-privileged user to
bypass data access controls. When creating a dataset, Superset enforces permission checks to prevent users
from querying unauthorized data. However, an authenticated attacker with permissions to write datasets and
read charts can bypass these checks by overwriting the SQL query of an existing dataset. This issue
affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the
issue. (CVE-2026-23982)
