# Software Link: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset
# Version: Any before 0.23
# Tested on: Ubuntu 18.04
# CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8021

# I originally disclosed this to the Apache Superset team back in May, and the fix had already been 
# in place, but not backported. As far as I know, this is the first weaponized exploit for this CVE.
