Real-World Exposure
apache-supersetReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
When a guest user accesses a chart in Apache Superset, the API response from the /chart/data endpoint includes a query field in its payload. This field contains the underlying query, which improperly discloses database schema information, such as table names, to the low-privileged guest user.
This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.3, which fixes the issue.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for apache-superset, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update apache-superset to 4.1.3.post1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9g5x-mm39-wg9r is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
