No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Metabase versions before 0.63.1 fail to enforce data analyst permission checks on glossary API endpoints, allowing any authenticated user to create, modify, and delete glossary entries. Attackers can submit requests to POST, PUT, and DELETE glossary endpoints to tamper with instance-wide business glossary data without proper authorization.
