Details
A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Metabase up to 1.59.3. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code of the file /api/ee/serialization/import of the component Serialization Import Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a deserialization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-502. The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
Metabase is an open source business intelligence and embedded analytics tool. In Metabase Enterprise prior to versions 1.54.22, 1.55.22, 1.56.22, 1.57.16, 1.58.10, and 1.59.4, 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. We confirmed this was possible on Metabase Cloud. This only affects Metabase Enterprise. Metabase OSS lacks the affected codepaths. All versions of Metabase Enterprise that have serialization, which dates back to at least version 1.47, are affected. Metabase Enterprise versions 1.54.22, 1.55.22, 1.56.22, 1.57.16, 1.58.10, and 1.59.4 patch the issue. As a workaround, disable the serialization import endpoint in their Metabase instance to prevent access to the vulnerable codepaths.
It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-33725 since 03/23/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation needs additional levels of successful authentication. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit.
The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 304390 (Metabase Enterprise < 1.54.22 / 1.55.x < 1.55.22 / 1.56.x < 1.56.22 / 1.57.x < 1.57.16 / 1.58.x < 1.58.10 / 1.59.x < 1.59.4 RCE (GHSA-fppj-vcm3-w229)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
Upgrading to version 1.54.22, 1.55.22, 1.56.22, 1.57.16, 1.58.10 or 1.59.4 eliminates this vulnerability.
