CVE-2026-50148 Metabase: Remote Code Execution via Snowflake JDBC Driver Arbitrary File Write

What is CVE-2026-50148?

CVE-2026-50148 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in metabase, published on 15 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and embedded analytics tool. From 1.54.0 until 1.54.24, 1.55.24, 1.56.25, 1.57.19, 1.58.14, 1.59.10, and 1.60.4, a Metabase user with permission to add or edit a database connection can achieve remote code execution on the Metabase server by configuring a Snowflake connection to an attacker-controlled server, because a flaw in the Snowflake JDBC driver can write arbitrary files anywhere on the Metabase host, including replacing one of Metabase's own database driver files that later executes inside the Metabase process. This issue is fixed in versions 1.54.24, 1.55.24, 1.56.25, 1.57.19, 1.58.14, 1.59.10, and 1.60.4.
