Metabase Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

On 7 August, BleepingComputer reported that attackers were exploiting a Metabase SQL injection zero-day to steal customer data. On 8 August, The Hacker News reported that the flaw allowed attackers to gain administrator access without authentication. Hacker News Best (RSS) also carried Framework’s disclosure of a data breach through the Metabase zero-day, identifying a victim of the reported exploitation.

Assuming the reports are factual, the impact is 0%. The affected parties are Metabase customers targeted through the zero-day, including Framework. The reported access extends to unauthenticated administrator control and customer data theft. The assigned impact score records no broader measured effect from the event.

Watch for a Metabase technical disclosure, remediation details, and further victim reports. These would clarify the vulnerability’s mechanism, scope, and continuing exposure.
