An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-72898 in the wild since at least 11 Aug 2026.\n\nAffected product: Metabase. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72898/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72898/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72898","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72898/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72898","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Metabase BI tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can inject SQL via the password reset endpoint to gain administrator access to Metabase instances.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisa-cg","cpe":[{"product":"metabase","vendor":"metabase"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"Metabase allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL via the '/reset_password' database endpoint and gain administrator access to the connected Metabase instance.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-08-12","github_poc":12,"max_poc_stars":22,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-08-27T06:51:58Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/EQSTLab/CVE-2026-72898","stars":22,"title":"Metabase SQLi"},{"date":"2026-08-15T09:06:56Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/4minx/CVE-2026-72898","stars":9,"title":"CVE-2026-72898 PoC : Metabase Unauthenticated SQL Injection"},{"date":"2026-08-12T13:54:46Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xredash/CVE-2026-72898","stars":8,"title":"CVE-2026-72898"},{"date":"2026-08-15T11:59:26Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/VuxNx/CVE-2026-72898","stars":2,"title":"PoC for CVE-2026-72898"},{"date":"2026-08-15T10:44:56Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/ubitquity/Metabase-Setup-Endpoint-SQLi-Fix","stars":1,"title":"CVE-2026-72898-Metabase-SQLi-Fix"},{"date":"2026-08-13T21:08:45Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/codeb0ssx/CVE-2026-72898-PoC","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2026-72898 - Metabase"},{"date":"2026-08-16T12:55:07Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Franc-Zar/CVE-2026-72898-safe-detection","stars":0,"title":"Simple script to achieve safe and non-desruptive active detection of CVE-2026-72898 (SQLi in Metabase)"},{"date":"2026-08-26T17:45:43Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/d-maggipinto/CVE-2026-72898-metabase-sqli","stars":0,"title":"Detector + root-cause analysis for CVE-2026-72898 (Metabase unauthenticated SQLi via reset_password)"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Metabase SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-72898","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2026-08-11","dueDate":"2026-08-14","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Metabase","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes).
