Authorized Metabase CVE-2026-59827 Penetration Testing Tool

An authorized security assessment utility for validating the presence of CVE-2026-59827 in Metabase deployments during approved penetration testing engagements.

This tool is designed to demonstrate the existence of the vulnerability while minimizing impact by performing controlled proof-of-concept demonstrations rather than attempting destructive or persistent actions. Every action performed is logged to provide an audit trail suitable for professional security assessments.

Warning

This project is intended only for systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized use may violate applicable laws and organizational policies.

Features

• Authorization verification before testing
• Interactive confirmation or authorization token support
• Multiple safe vulnerability demonstrations
• Automatic audit logging
• JSON-based penetration testing logs
• Professional penetration testing report generation
• Rate-limited testing
• Modular demonstration framework

Demonstration Techniques

The tool currently supports the following safe demonstrations:

These demonstrations are intended to validate whether the vulnerability exists without intentionally modifying data.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• requests

Install dependencies:

pip install requests

or

pip install -r requirements.txt

Example requirements.txt

requests>=2.31.0

Usage

Interactive Authorization

python3 CVE-2026-59827.py \
    -t https://metabase.example.com

The tool will request authorization confirmation before continuing.

Authorization Token

python3 CVE-2026-59827.py \
    -t https://metabase.example.com \
    --auth-token YOUR-AUTHORIZATION-TOKEN

Execute One Demonstration

python3 metabase_tester.py \
    -t https://metabase.example.com \
    --demo version_disclosure

Available demonstrations:

version_disclosure
database_type
user_enumeration
schema_disclosure
sql_execution

Run All Demonstrations

python3 CVE-2026-59827.py \
    -t https://metabase.example.com

Command-Line Options

Example

python3 CVE-2026-59827.py \
    -t https://metabase.internal \
    --auth-token COMPANY-12345 \
    --demo database_type

Logging

Every action performed is recorded for auditing purposes.

Each run generates a log file similar to:

pentest_log_3a7f21bc.json

Each log entry contains:

• Timestamp
• Test ID
• Executed action
• Parameters used
• Additional details

Example:

{
  "timestamp": "2026-07-23T11:42:58",
  "action": "Testing payload",
  "details": {
    "parameter": "query",
    "payload": "' UNION SELECT version()--"
  },
  "test_id": "3a7f21bc"
}

Report Generation

After testing completes, the tool generates a summary containing:

• Target URL
• Test ID
• Date and time
• Number of logged actions
• Demonstrations executed
• Audit log location

Limitations

• Designed for authorized security assessments only.
• Does not attempt privilege escalation.
• Does not modify database contents.
• Demonstrations are intentionally limited to reduce operational impact.
• Intended as a validation tool rather than a full exploitation framework.

Responsible Disclosure

If testing confirms the presence of the vulnerability:

1. Notify the system owner immediately.
2. Document the findings.
3. Provide remediation guidance.
4. Avoid unnecessary or repeated testing after confirmation.
5. Follow your organization's responsible disclosure policy.
