HIGH 7.6UPGRADE

CVE-2026-50147 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.6) affecting metabase. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and embedded analytics tool. From 1.57.0 until 1.57.19.1, 1.58.14.1, 1.59.10, and 1.60.4, an attacker who can configure a Metabase database connection can read arbitrary files from the Metabase server's filesystem by adding unsafe JDBC parameters to a MySQL or MariaDB connection, causing the driver to read files from the Metabase host and expose the contents through queries against the connected da

metabase metabase UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.57.0 and < 1.57.19.1 · >= 1.58.0 and < 1.58.14.1 · >= 1.59.0 and < 1.59.10 · >= 1.60.0 and < 1.60.4

Fixed in: 1.57.19.1, 1.58.14.1, 1.59.10, 1.60.4

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.57.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy metabase || rpm -q metabase || metabase --version

2. UPGRADE to 1.57.19.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade metabase

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade metabase

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.57.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison metabase sudo apt install metabase=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.57.0> sudo apt-mark hold metabase

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list metabase sudo dnf downgrade metabase-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.57.0> sudo dnf versionlock add metabase

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
