HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk61th percentile - higher than 61% of all known CVEs
Summary
OpenMetadata versions 1.5.0 through 1.11.3 are vulnerable to remote code execution via Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) in FreeMarker email templates. An attacker must have administrative privileges. Version 1.11.4 contains a patch.
Risk Assessment
An administrator with platform access can execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Update OpenMetadata to version 1.11.4 or later. Limit the number of administrators and monitor administrative actions.
Other vulnerabilities in OpenMetadata
See all- CVE-2026-100373Medium
OpenMetadata through 2.0.2 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the URLValidator.validateURL function that fails to properly resolve DNS hostnames and validate internal addresses. Users permitted to create or update EventSubscription can set webhook destinations to internal hosts, allowing the server to send requests to private networks and cloud metadata endpoints while returning HTTP status codes that enable blind SSRF probing.
- CVE-2026-81029High
OpenMetadata accepts a caller-supplied post-authentication redirect target and appends the issued token to it. SamlLoginServlet reads the callback parameter and stores it in the session without validation, and the assertion consumer later formats it into a URL with the JWT and account details. The OIDC and OAuth2 handlers follow the same pattern. An attacker can craft a link that, after victim login, sends the token to an attacker-controlled destination, allowing account takeover.
- CVE-2026-46481High
In OpenMetadata prior to version 1.12.4, a non-admin SSO user can trigger a TEST_CONNECTION workflow and receive cleartext database password and ingestion bot JWT in the HTTP 201 response. The JWT can be reused to access sensitive APIs with bot privileges.
Original NVD description (English source)
OpenMetadata is a unified metadata platform. Versions 1.5.0 through 1.11.3 are vulnerable to remote code execution via Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) in FreeMarker email templates. An attacker must have administrative privileges to exploit the vulnerability. Version 1.11.4 contains a patch.
