Metabase RCE (CVE-2023-38646)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 189296

Language:

Synopsis

The web application running on the remote web server is affected by a command execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Metabase installed on the remote host is 0.46.x < 0.46.6.1, 0.45.x < 0.45.4.1, 1.45.x < 1.45.4.1, 0.44.x < 0.44.7.1, 1.44.x < 1.44.7.1, 0.43.x < 0.43.7.2, and 1.43.x < 1.43.7.2. It is, therefore, affected by a command execution vulnerability when a malicious attacker sends a specially crafted payload to the api/setup/validate endpoint.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Metabase version x.46.6.1, x.45.4.1, x.44.7.1,x.43.7.2, x.43.7.2 or later
