CVE-2026-46481: CWE-201: Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data in open-metadata OpenMetadata
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
OpenMetadata before version 1.12.4 contains a vulnerability (CWE-201) where a non-admin SSO user invoking the TEST_CONNECTION workflow for a Database Service via POST /api/v1/automations/workflows receives a 201 response containing sensitive data: the cleartext database password and the ingestion bot JWT token. The exposed JWT token allows unauthorized access to sensitive service APIs with bot-level privileges. The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.12.4.
Potential Impact
An attacker with non-admin SSO access can obtain the cleartext database password and a reusable ingestion bot JWT token, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive APIs with elevated bot privileges. This leads to high confidentiality and integrity impact, and low availability impact as per the CVSS score of 8.3.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenMetadata to version 1.12.4 or later, where this vulnerability is patched. No other mitigation is indicated or required according to the available data.
