High Injection

CVE-2026-50147 — Metabase: Arbitrary File Read via MySQL Connection Property Injection

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and embedded analytics tool. From 1.57.0 until 1.57.19.1, 1.58.14.1, 1.59.10, and 1.60.4, an attacker who can configure a Metabase database connection can read arbitrary files from the Metabase server's filesystem by adding unsafe JDBC parameters to a MySQL or MariaDB connection, causing the driver to read files from the Metabase host and expose the contents through queries against the connected database or through validation error messages. This issue is fixed in versions 1.57.19.1, 1.58.14.1, 1.59.10, and 1.60.4.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.3% (30-day exploitation probability)+4
Technical severity (high)+6

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

Detection

Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.

Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
Look for parameters with command/query metacharacters and unexpected child processes of the service.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-50147 is "Metabase: Arbitrary File Read via MySQL Connection Property Injection", rated High. It affects Metabase (Metabase); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 7.6 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.34% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
