Row-level security bypass via sqlExpression subquery injection
Published May 30, 2025 · Updated May 31, 2025
SQL injection in virtual dataset sqlExpression handling in Apache Superset before 4.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to read restricted data. get_virtual_table_metadata used ParsedQuery read-only checks on templated dataset SQL, allowing crafted subqueries to evade parsing and reach the database. Exploitation requires an authenticated account that can submit crafted dataset requests where row-level security protects data, and it exposes rows outside that account's policy.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
