Metabase Zero-Day Exploited in Wild Allows Admin Access Without Authentication

Metabase warns an actively exploited zero-day (CVE-2026-72898, CVSS 10.0) grants unauthenticated admin access; Framework, n8n, and Kilo Code disclosed data exposure.

Metabase disclosed a maximum-severity SQL injection affecting versions x.58 through x.63 that lets unauthenticated attackers inject SQL via the /api/session/reset_password endpoint and gain administrator access to Metabase instances. Metabase Cloud was attacked, patches were released, and CISA added CVE-2026-72898 to the KEV catalog with a federal remediation deadline of August 14, 2026. Downstream victims include Framework (customer names, IPs, addresses, phone numbers, and emails accessed), n8n (136 customer records, five with bcrypt-hashed passwords), and Kilo Code (Slack access tokens). Wiz estimates roughly 13% of cloud environments run self-hosted Metabase, with about 2,500 instances internet-accessible.

U.S. CISA adds Metabase, Windows, and Cisco Secure Firewall flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

CISA adds three actively exploited flaws—Cisco ASA/FTD DoS, Windows Winsock SYSTEM-level UAF, and Metabase SQL injection—to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

CISA added CVE-2026-20349 (CVSS 8.6, heap inspection flaw crashing Cisco ASA/FTD via crafted HTTP requests to the Remote Access SSL VPN service), CVE-2026-68820 (CVSS 7.0, use-after-free in the Windows afd.sys Winsock driver allowing SYSTEM-privilege code execution, actively exploited per Microsoft) and CVE-2026-72898 (CVSS 10.0, unauthenticated SQL injection in Metabase) to the KEV catalog. Metabase disclosed its cloud service was attacked with the 0-day, giving the intruder a path to administrator rights and stored credentials for connected databases; cloud instances were patched while self-hosted deployments need urgent updates. Under BOD 22-01, federal civilian agencies must patch by August 14, 2026, except CVE-2026-68820, due August 25.
