Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in open-metadata OpenMetadata up to 1.12.3. Affected is an unknown code of the file /api/v1/automations/workflows of the component Database Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a insertion of sensitive information into sent data vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-201. The code transmits data to another actor, but a portion of the data includes sensitive information that should not be accessible to that actor. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

OpenMetadata is a unified metadata platform. Prior to version 1.12.4, a non-admin SSO user can trigger a TEST_CONNECTION workflow for a Database Service and receive, in the HTTP 201 response of POST /api/v1/automations/workflows, both the cleartext database password in request.connection.config.password and the ingestion bot JWT in openMetadataServerConnection.securityConfig.jwtToken. The leaked ingestion-bot token can then be reused as Authorization: Bearer to access sensitive service APIs with bot-level privileges. This issue has been patched in version 1.12.4.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-46481 since 05/14/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.
