Synopsis
The remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.Description
The version of Metabase Enterprise installed on the remote host is prior to 1.54.22, 1.55.x prior to 1.55.22, 1.56.x prior to 1.56.22, 1.57.x prior to 1.57.16, 1.58.x prior to 1.58.10, or 1.59.x prior to 1.59.4. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability:- Authenticated admins on Metabase Enterprise Edition can achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Arbitrary File Read via the POST /api/ee/serialization/import endpoint. A crafted serialization archive injects an INIT property into the H2 JDBC spec, which can execute arbitrary SQL during a database sync. (CVE-2026-33725)
Note that this vulnerability only affects Metabase Enterprise Edition. Metabase OSS is not affected.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
