AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2026-72898 describes a SQL Injection vulnerability found in Metabase, an open-source business intelligence platform. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the Metabase application database. The vulnerability is specifically exploitable via the `/reset_password` database endpoint. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can grant an attacker administrator access to the Metabase instance. With this elevated access, an attacker could potentially alter application configurations, exfiltrate stored credentials for any connected databases, read data accessible through those connections, and export data.
