Superset Security Update (default `SECRET_KEY` vulnerability)

A recent security vulnerability identified as CVE-2023-27524 has been reported in the Apache Superset community, highlighting the critical importance of setting a unique SECRET_KEY for secure installations. This vulnerability, discovered by Horizon3.ai, could allow attackers to forge user session cookies, potentially granting unauthorized access to Superset installations using default keys in versions up to 2.0.1. Preset users remain unaffected due to their distinct security configurations, but open-source Superset deployments are advised to ensure custom SECRET_KEYS and upgrade to version 2.1.0, which prevents the use of default keys in non-development environments. Preset emphasizes its commitment to security, promptly addressing vulnerabilities within its managed service and working to enhance Superset's documentation to prevent future risks.
