Impact

Metabase allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL through a publicly shared card or dashboard that exposes a field-filter (dimension) parameter. The injection can execute any SQL statement against the database, enabling data disclosure, modification, or destruction of data. This weakness aligns with CWE-89, which represents untrusted input influencing the generation of SQL statements.

Affected Systems

Metabase is the affected vendor and product. No specific version information is provided in the CVE data; the vulnerability applies to any Metabase deployment that permits publicly shared cards or dashboards exposing a field-filter dimension parameter.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 10 denotes critical severity, and the vulnerability is exploitable by any unauthenticated user who obtains a link to a shared card or dashboard. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attack vector is a web-based shared resource accessible to anyone with the link, exploitation is likely if the shared resource is widely exposed.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest released version of Metabase that contains the fix for this SQL injection.
  • If a patch is not yet available, restrict or disable public sharing of cards and dashboards that expose field-filter dimension parameters, ensuring only authenticated and authorized users can access them.
  • Enable input validation or enforce whitelisting of SQL queries for dimensions to mitigate any remaining risk.
