Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-22805 is a low-severity Metabase issue where a channel test endpoint could reach internal local addresses. The business risk is mainly for self-hosted Metabase deployments located near other unsecured internal resources and allowing users to create subscriptions.
Executive priority
Treat as routine patching unless Metabase is self-hosted beside sensitive internal services and many users can create subscriptions. Prioritize upgrade during the next maintenance cycle, faster for poorly segmented environments.
Technical view
Metabase before 55.13, 56.3, and 57.1 is affected by a CWE-918 server-side request forgery condition involving the channel test endpoint. The CVSS 4.0 score is 2.1, with network attack vector, high complexity, high privileges, and required attack conditions.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to self-hosted Metabase instances on affected versions where users can create subscriptions and Metabase is colocated with unsecured internal resources. Hosted or differently isolated deployments are not identified as affected in the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not report active exploitation, and this CVE is not marked KEV. Exploitation requires high privileges and specific environmental conditions, reducing broad practical risk.
Researcher notes
Evidence is concise and vendor-centered. The advisory confirms affected versions and fixed releases but provides limited public detail on reachable targets or exploitation mechanics. Do not assume broader product impact beyond Metabase versions listed.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Metabase to 55.13, 56.3, 57.1, or later as applicable.
- Review the GitHub advisory for branch-specific upgrade guidance.
- Restrict subscription creation to trusted users where operationally possible.
- Avoid colocating Metabase with unsecured internal services.
Validation and detection
- Identify all self-hosted Metabase instances and record their versions.
- Confirm whether instances are below 55.13, 56.3, or 57.1.
- Check whether users can create subscriptions in affected deployments.
- Review internal network placement near unsecured local resources.
- Confirm remediation by verifying the upgraded Metabase version.
