SCA: security update for apache-superset (GHSA-cj7g-h7rf-h8j9)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421801

Description

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

 - While investigating a bug report on Apache Superset, it was determined that an authenticated user could
 craft requests via a number of templated text fields in the product that would allow arbitrary access to
 Python’s `os` package in the web application process in versions < 0.37.1. It was thus possible for an
 authenticated user to list and access files, environment variables, and process information. Additionally
 it was possible to set environment variables for the current process, create and update files in folders
 writable by the web process, and execute arbitrary programs accessible by the web process. All other
 operations available to the `os` package in Python were also available, even if not explicitly enumerated
 in this CVE. (CVE-2020-13948)

Solution

Update the apache-superset library and its related packages to version 0.37.1 or later.
