What is CVE-2023-47629?

DataHub, an open-source metadata platform, suffers from an improper access control vulnerability that enables users to create privileged accounts through an invite link. This happens when the default DataHub user has been deleted but the default policies associated with that user remain intact. Under specific conditions, an individual receiving an email sign-up link can gain admin privileges, potentially compromising the entire DataHub instance. It is crucial for users to upgrade to version 0.12.1, as there are no known workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.
