high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442267

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenMetadata is a unified metadata platform. Prior to version 1.12.4, a non-admin SSO user can trigger a
 TEST_CONNECTION workflow for a Database Service and receive, in the HTTP 201 response of POST
 /api/v1/automations/workflows, both the cleartext database password in request.connection.config.password
 and the ingestion bot JWT in openMetadataServerConnection.securityConfig.jwtToken. The leaked ingestion-
 bot token can then be reused as Authorization: Bearer <jwt> to access sensitive service APIs with bot-
 level privileges. This issue has been patched in version 1.12.4. (CVE-2026-46481)

Solution

Update the org.open-metadata:openmetadata-service library and its related packages to version 1.12.4 or later.
