Questions about CVE-2026-72898
What does this mean?
The password reset endpoint does not properly handle input, so an unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL into the Metabase application database. The advisory says this can give the attacker administrator access to the instance.Source: github.com, metabase.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Metabase versions from 0.58.0 up to but not including 0.58.24, 0.59.0 to before 0.59.21, 0.60.0 to before 0.60.17, 0.61.0 to before 0.61.11, 0.62.0 to before 0.62.9, and 0.63.0 to before 0.63.5. Only self-hosted instances with the /api/session/reset_password endpoint publicly reachable are listed as at risk; Metabase Cloud is already patched.Source: github.com, metabase.com
What should I do about it?
Upgrade to the patch release for your Metabase major version: 0.58.24, 0.59.21, 0.60.17, 0.61.11, 0.62.9, or 0.63.5 or later. The advisory says to do this as soon as possible.Source: github.com, metabase.com
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-08-11, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
