Metabase SQL Injection Vulnerability

Metabase Metabase

Metabase contains a SQL Injection vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into the Metabase application database, which can give them administrator access to the instance. From there, the attacker could change the application configuration, steal stored credentials for the connected databases, read any data accessible through those connections, and export data. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-08-11 (federal deadline 2026-08-14).
