critical Nessus Plugin ID 331861

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Metabase installed on the remote host is 0.55.0 through 0.58.15, 0.59.x prior to 0.59.12, 0.60.x prior to 0.60.7, 0.61.x prior to 0.61.2, 1.55.0 through 1.58.15, 1.59.x prior to 1.59.12, 1.60.x prior to 1.60.7, or 1.61.x prior to 1.61.2. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability:

- Metabase did not validate unsafe H2 connection properties on one database-creation code path, allowing an authenticated administrator to register a crafted H2 database connection and execute arbitrary Java code on the Metabase server. (CVE-2026-59826)

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 0.58.15.1, 0.59.12, 0.60.7, 0.61.2, 1.58.15.1, 1.59.12, 1.60.7, 1.61.2, or later.
