Threat Risk: High
Victim: Metabase Cloud users
Incident: Unauthorized access to customer database backups via a 0-day vulnerability in Metabase Cloud.
Impact: Exposure of sensitive customer data for multiple organizations, including Framework and Beacon CMS.
Attacker: Unidentified threat actors
Analysis: Attackers exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in Metabase versions 1.58 and above to gain unauthorized access to cloud instances. The threat actor performed targeted data scraping, extracting the first several rows from various database tables. This incident underscores the risk of granting third-party business intelligence tools overly broad access to production databases.
Recommendations: Rotate all credentials for databases connected to Metabase instances.; Audit administrative accounts to identify and remove unauthorized users.; Restrict BI platform access to only the specific columns required for analysis.
