CVE-2026-86116
Metabase versions before 0.63.1 fail to enforce data analyst permission checks on glossary API endpoints, allowing any authenticated user to create, modify, and delete glossary entries.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description

Attackers can submit requests to POST, PUT, and DELETE glossary endpoints to tamper with instance-wide business glossary data without proper authorization.
