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.\n\nAll superset installations should always set a unique secure random SECRET_KEY. Your SECRET_KEY is used to securely sign all session cookies and encrypting sensitive information on the database.\nAdd a strong SECRET_KEY to your `superset_config.py` file like:\n\nSECRET_KEY = <YOUR_OWN_RANDOM_GENERATED_SECRET_KEY>\n\nAlternatively you can set it with `SUPERSET_SECRET_KEY` environment variable.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-1188"],"references":["https://lists.apache.org/thread/n0ftx60sllf527j7g11kmt24wvof8xyk","https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/172522/Apache-Superset-2.0.0-Authentication-Bypass.html","https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/175094/Apache-Superset-2.0.0-Remote-Code-Execution.html","https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/04/24/2","https://lists.apache.org/thread/n0ftx60sllf527j7g11kmt24wvof8xyk"],"products":["apache:superset"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:38:05.473481323+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-27524","score":0.98148,"percentile":0.99913,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":{"cve":"CVE-2023-27524","date_added":"2024-01-08","due_date":"2024-01-29","vendor":"Apache","product":"Superset","known_ransomware":false},"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-5cx2-vq3h-x52c","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5cx2-vq3h-x52c","summary":"Apache superset missing check for default SECRET_KEY","modified":"2026-07-07T17:56:24.545479431Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"apache-superset","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-superset","ranges":["<2.1.0"],"fixed":["2.1.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1161","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1161","summary":"Apache superset missing check for default SECRET_KEY","modified":"2026-07-07T17:56:24.545479431Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"apache-superset","purl":"pkg:pypi/apache-superset","ranges":["<2.1.0"],"fixed":["2.1.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
