Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Metabase installed on the remote host is prior to 0.29.3. It is, therefore, affected by a Cross-site scripting vulnerability which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

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 0.29.3 or later.
