Summary
Apache Superset data query improperly discloses database schema information to low-privileged guest user
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.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

- What is CVE-2025-55673? CVE-2025-55673 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in apache-superset (pip), affecting versions < 4.1.3.post1. It is fixed in 4.1.3.post1.
- Which versions of apache-superset are affected by CVE-2025-55673? apache-superset (pip) versions < 4.1.3.post1 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-55673? Yes. CVE-2025-55673 is fixed in 4.1.3.post1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2025-55673 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-55673 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-55673 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
- How do I fix CVE-2025-55673? Upgrade
apache-supersetto 4.1.3.post1 or later.
