Metabase patched the bug on August 3 and notified Framework on August 6; Framework rotated all connected database credentials and hired a forensics firm. The breach affected 'all customers' according to TechCrunch. Why: If you run Metabase (or any BI/analytics tool) connected to production databases, this incident is a concrete reminder that those tools are a high-value attack surface with broad data access. Check your Metabase version immediately if on 1.58 or later, and audit whether your BI tool's database connections have least-privilege scopes rather than blanket read access to every table. Malaysian startups using Metabase Cloud should confirm they're patched and rotate connected DB credentials as a precaution. security metabase data-breach supply-chain bi-tools
