Improper authorization check and possible privilege escalation on Apache Superset up to but excluding 2.1.2. Using the default examples database connection that allows access to both the examples schema and Apache Superset's metadata database, an attacker using a specially crafted CTE SQL statement could change data on the metadata database. This weakness could result on tampering with the authentication/authorization data.

Unnecessary read permissions within the Gamma role would allow authenticated users to read configured CSS templates and annotations. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 2.1.2. Users should upgrade to version or above 2.1.2 and run `superset init` to reconstruct the Gamma role or remove `can_read` permission from the mentioned resources.

Improper payload validation and an improper REST API response type, made it possible for an authenticated malicious actor to store malicious code into Chart's metadata, this code could get executed if a user specifically accesses a specific deprecated API endpoint. This issue affects Apache Superset versions prior to 2.1.2.  Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.2, which fixes this issue.

Mattermost fails to check whether the "Allow users to view archived channels" setting is enabled during permalink previews display, allowing members to view permalink previews of archived channels even if the "Allow users to view archived channels" setting is disabled. 

Mattermost fails to properly validate the "Show Full Name" option in a few endpoints in Mattermost Boards, allowing a member to get the full name of another user even if the Show Full Name option was disabled. 

Mattermost fails to properly check a redirect URL parameter allowing for an open redirect was possible when the user clicked "Back to Mattermost" after providing a invalid custom url scheme in /oauth/{service}/mobile_login?redirect_to=

An improper limitation of a path name to a restricted directory (path traversal) vulnerability in the TACC ePO extension, for on-premises ePO servers, prior to version 8.4.0 could lead to an authorised administrator attacker executing arbitrary code through uploading a specially crafted GTI reputation file. The attacker would need the appropriate privileges to access the relevant section of the User Interface. The import logic has been updated to restrict file types and content.
