CVE-2026-46481
HighCVSS 8.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk15th percentile - higher than 15% of all known CVEs
Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
Risk of credential leakage (database password and JWT token), potentially leading to unauthorized access to services and data.
Recommendation
Immediately update OpenMetadata to version 1.12.4 or later.
Other vulnerabilities in OpenMetadata
See all- CVE-2026-22244High
OpenMetadata, a unified metadata platform, versions prior to 1.11.4 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.
- 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.
Original NVD description (English source)
OpenMetadata is a unified metadata platform. Prior to version 1.12.4, a non-admin SSO user can trigger a TEST_CONNECTION workflow for a Database Service and receive, in the HTTP 201 response of POST /api/v1/automations/workflows, both the cleartext database password in request.connection.config.password and the ingestion bot JWT in openMetadataServerConnection.securityConfig.jwtToken. The leaked ingestion-bot token can then be reused as Authorization: Bearer <jwt> to access sensitive service APIs with bot-level privileges. This issue has been patched in version 1.12.4.
