CVE-2022-39362Network attack vector

Authenticated SQL execution via auto-run query hash

Published Oct 26, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Affected Metabase releases allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL by opening a crafted question URL. The query-builder initialization path decodes an unsaved native query from the URL hash and runs it whenever canRun() succeeds, without requiring an explicit Run action. The user must hold native-query permission and open the crafted URL; the query then executes with the configured database connection privileges.
