Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into the Metabase application database and gain administrator access to the connected  Metabase instance.

Known Exploitation

This vulnerability has been actively exploited, and a proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available.

The vulnerability affects the following products:

  • Metabase versions 0.58.0 to versions prior to 0.58.24

  • Metabase versions 0.59.0 to versions prior to 0.59.21

Recommendations

Users and administrators of affected products are advised to update to the latest patched versions immediately.

As the vulnerability has been actively exploited, users and administrators who are self-hosting publicly accessible Metabase instances are advised to follow Metabase's post-upgrade security guidance. This includes revoking active user sessions, reviewing administrator accounts and API keys, rotating credentials for connected databases, and checking logs for signs of unauthorised access or activity.

Workaround

If immediate upgrading is not possible, administrators should block access to the /api/session/reset_password endpoint as a temporary workaround.
