1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU92935
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34693
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote user can create a MariaDB connection with local_infile enabled. If both the MariaDB server (off by default) and the local mysql client on the web server are set to allow for local infile, it's possible for the attacker to execute a specific MySQL/MariaDB SQL command that is able to read files from the server and insert their content on a MariaDB database table.
Install updates from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsApache Superset: 3.0.0 - 4.0.0
