Superset Version in Use (2.0.1)

A few areas of Superset have been affected by an important change that took place in this release. Limitations have been imposed within Superset’s configuration, which limit the set of tags and attributes available for use by the Handlebars Chart and the Markdown component in their default configuration. It's important to note that it was considered whether or not these modifications would constitute a breaking change, but it was concluded by the PMC that these should be treated as a security fix instead.

  • CSP Configuration Check: Superset 2.0.1 includes a CSP (Content Security Policy) configuration check in production environments. It warns if the configuration is not defined. CSP policies help limit the sources of imported files/content and enhance security.

  • Handlebars Chart Configuration: The Handlebars plugin in Superset 2.0.1 has limitations in its default configuration. It supports a restricted set of HTML tags and doesn't allow certain CSS styles. To enable full CSS capabilities, you can adjust the HTML sanitization schema in the config.py file.

  • Markdown Component Limitations and Configuration: The Markdown component in Superset 2.0.1 has limitations compared to previous versions. It supports a restricted set of Markdown elements and attributes. You can disable HTML sanitization or expand the sanitization schema to match your CSP policies.

Note

It is recommended to enable CSP and configure it to allow content only from trusted domains when making configuration changes.
