Fixed an RLS bypass vulnerability involving nested subqueries in VALUES clauses by enhancing table extraction logic in superset/sql/parse.py.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 161568805393635571 started by @sha174n

This change addresses a vulnerability where Row Level Security (RLS) could be bypassed
by nesting a subquery within a VALUES clause. The existing `traverse_scope` logic in
`sqlglot` did not reliably extract tables from such constructs.

The fix adds an explicit traversal of `exp.Values` nodes in `extract_tables_from_statement`
to find any hidden tables, while employing a heuristic to avoid extracting Common Table
Expressions (CTEs) as physical tables.

Added `tests/unit_tests/sql/parse_tests_vulnerability.py` to verify the fix.
Existing tests in `tests/unit_tests/sql/parse_tests.py` pass.

was processed raw (e.g., in certain Query datasource paths).
