CVE-2026-46481 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.open-metadata:openmetadata-service to version 1.12.4 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data via the TEST_CONNECTION workflow for a Database Service. An attacker can obtain sensitive credentials and authentication tokens by triggering the workflow and inspecting the HTTP response, which exposes the cleartext database password and a valid JWT for the ingestion-bot account. This allows unauthorized access to sensitive APIs and modification of services and metadata. This is only exploitable if the secrets manager provider is set to "db" and the application is not configured to store credentials in a dedicated Secrets Store.
