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_version":"3.1","cvss_vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","base_score":9.8,"base_severity":"CRITICAL","attack_vector":"NETWORK","privileges_req":"NONE","user_interaction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","impact_c":"HIGH","impact_i":"HIGH","impact_a":"HIGH","cwe_ids":["CWE-1188"],"in_kev":true,"kev_date_added":"2024-01-08","kev_ransomware":false,"epss_score":0.98148,"epss_percentile":0.99913,"cap_rule_version":"0.1.1","stage":"INITIAL_ACCESS","req_access":"NONE","req_vector":"NETWORK","req_user_interaction":false,"grant_access":"USER","caps":["CODE_EXEC"],"terminal":false,"cap_confidence":"high","ingested_at":"2026-09-18T10:24:26.127813+00:00","first_seen":"2023-04-24T16:15:07.843000+00:00","kev_first_seen":"2024-01-08T00:00:00+00:00","novelty_score":0.0,"novelty_reasons":[],"novelty_at":null,"vendors":["apache"],"products":["superset"],"affected":[{"vendor":"apache","product":"superset","ranges":["≤ 2.0.1"]}]}
