Metabase Remote Code Execution
Posted on 09 August 2023
Metabase versions before 0.46.6.1 contain a flaw where the secret setup-token is accessible even after the setup process has been completed. With this token a user is able to submit the setup functionality to create a new database. When creating a new database, an H2 database string is created with a TRIGGER that allows for code execution. We use a sample database for our connection string to prevent corrupting real databases. Successfully tested against Metabase 0.46.6.
