Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Directly mitigates the SSRF vulnerability by requiring timely patching of Metabase to fixed versions 55.13, 56.3, or 57.1.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Validates and sanitizes user inputs for subscription features to block malicious URLs that trigger server-side requests.

SC-7 Boundary Protection good match

preventdetect

Monitors and controls outbound communications at system boundaries to protect colocated unsecured resources from SSRF exploitation.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2026-22805 is a vulnerability (CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery) affecting Metabase, an open-source data analytics platform. It impacts self-hosted Metabase instances prior to versions 55.13, 56.3, and 57.1 that allow users to create subscriptions, particularly when Metabase is colocated with other unsecured resources. The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-12 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation enables high confidentiality impact via a changed scope, potentially allowing access to sensitive data in colocated unsecured resources through server-side requests initiated by subscription features.

The official Metabase security advisory (https://github.com/metabase/metabase/security/advisories/GHSA-2wgg-7r2p-cmqx) confirms the issue is fixed in Metabase versions 55.13, 56.3, and 57.1. Administrators of affected self-hosted instances should upgrade to these versions to mitigate the risk.
