How severe is GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj has a CVSS score of 4.3/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj affects the following packages: apache-superset (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

Update apache-superset to 4.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-superset. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 4.4%, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Is there exploit tooling available for GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj?

A Nuclei detection template exists for GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-2q6j-vpvr-6pvj was published on July 16, 2024 and was last updated on February 5, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

An SQL Injection vulnerability in Apache Superset exists due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. Specifically, certain engine-specific functions are not checked, which allows attackers to bypass Apache Superset's SQL authorization. To mitigate this, a new configuration key named DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS has been introduced. This key disallows the use of the following PostgreSQL functions: version, query_to_xml, inet_server_addr, and inet_client_addr. Additional functions can be added to this list for increased protection.

This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.0.2.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.2, which fixes the issue.
