CVE-2024-23952Network attack vector

Authenticated service interruption via unchecked ZIP expansion

Published Feb 14, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Uncontrolled resource consumption in Apache Superset before 2.1.3 and 3.0.0 through 3.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt service. The asset-import path passes uploaded database, dashboard, or dataset archives into get_contents_from_bundle without rejecting entries whose expanded size or compression ratio exceeds safe limits. Any account permitted to import these assets can submit a ZIP bomb that consumes server memory or CPU and makes the application unavailable.
