CVE-2026-23981

An Improper Authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Superset allowing an authenticated user with permissions to update charts to modify dashboards they do not own. When updating a chart's properties via the REST API, a user can provide a list of dashboard IDs (dashboards) to associate the chart with. The validation logic in the UpdateChartCommand failed to verify that the user had write permissions for the target dashboards specified in the request body. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.

Summary		(es) Una vulnerabilidad de autorización incorrecta existe en Apache Superset permitiendo a un usuario autenticado con permisos para actualizar gráficos modificar paneles de control que no les pertenecen. Al actualizar las propiedades de un gráfico a través de la API REST, un usuario puede proporcionar una lista de IDs de paneles de control (dashboards) para asociar el gráfico. La lógica de validación en el UpdateChartCommand no verificó que el usuario tuviera permisos de escritura para los paneles de control de destino especificados en el cuerpo de la solicitud. Este problema afecta a Apache Superset: antes de 6.0.0. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 6.0.0, que corrige el problema.
