pip install apache-superset>=3.0.4
apache-superset fixed: 3.1.1 
pip install apache-superset>=3.1.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show apache-superset

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-27315, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show apache-superset

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apache Superset in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.4), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show apache-superset command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-209: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information, where the product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data. In Apache Superset, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
