Apache Superset Improper Authorization allows low-privileged users to bypass access controls
Description
An Improper Authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Superset that allows a low-privileged user to bypass data access controls.

However, an authenticated attacker with permissions to write datasets and read charts can bypass these checks by overwriting the SQL query of an existing dataset. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 6.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.0.0, which fixes the issue.
