high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438020

Description

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

 - An Improper Input Validation vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows an authenticated user
 with SQLLab access to bypass the read-only verification check when using a PostgreSQL database connection.
 While the system effectively blocks standard Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements (e.g., INSERT,
 UPDATE, DELETE) on read-only connections, it fails to detect them in specially crafted SQL statements.
 This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which
 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-23984)
