CVE-2023-27524: Apache superset missing check for default SECRET_KEY

April 24, 2023 (updated October 22, 2025)

Session Validation attacks in Apache Superset versions up to and including 2.0.1. Installations that have not altered the default configured SECRET_KEY according to installation instructions allow for an attacker to authenticate and access unauthorized resources. This does not affect Superset administrators who have changed the default value for SECRET_KEY config.
