Severity: Critical (CVSS 10)

Affected Systems: Affected products listed by OpenCVE and the vendor advisory

Overview

Metabase: Remote Code Execution via Snowflake JDBC Driver Arbitrary File Write

A critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-50148 has been disclosed.

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.

Required Action

Review the OpenCVE detail page and linked vendor advisory, then apply the vendor-provided update or mitigation for the affected product.

Prioritize systems where the affected product is internet-facing, handles authentication, or runs with elevated privileges.

Verify Updates

Confirm whether your environment uses the affected product(s): Affected products listed by OpenCVE and the vendor advisory.

After remediation, verify the installed version against the fixed or unaffected versions listed by the vendor.

Temporary Mitigation (if patch is not available)

Use the mitigation published by the vendor. If no vendor mitigation is available, reduce exposure to the affected product, restrict access to trusted users or networks, and increase monitoring until an update can be applied.

Recommendation

  • Use OpenCVE, vendor, and source references as the source of truth for affected versions and remediation
  • Patch or mitigate affected products after confirming exposure in your environment
  • Monitor affected systems for unusual activity until remediation is complete

Support

If you require assistance, please contact our support team.

Immediate action is strongly recommended to protect your infrastructure.
