Insufficient SQL function restrictions in Apache Superset before 4.1.2 allow authenticated users to execute sensitive database functions on ClickHouse engines that should have been blocked. An attacker with database access could leverage the incomplete DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS list to bypass security controls and potentially extract or manipulate data. No patch is currently available for affected versions of Apache Superset, PostgreSQL, and related deployments.
