CVE-2023-32680 is a critical vulnerability affecting Metabase, an open-source business analytics engine. The flaw allowed users, including those in sandboxed groups, to edit SQL snippets via the API or UI, bypassing intended permission restrictions. This could enable unauthorized modification of data access controls, potentially leading to privilege escalation and exposure of sensitive information. With a CVSS score of 9.6 (CRITICAL), the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low privileges and no user interaction, resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impacts. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, users are strongly advised to upgrade to patched versions (0.46.3, 0.45.4, 0.44.7, 1.46.3, 1.45.4, and 1.44.7) or ensure sandbox-creating SQL queries exclude snippets as a mitigation.
