Our security dept have raised a security concern about a path getting mentioned in the HTML of the home page.
Issue statement: "Windows specific file path was detected in the response."
Following are the string present in respponse:
file:/Users/camsaul/bird_sightings/toucans
placeholder : /home/camsaul/toucan_sightings.sqlite
Strange is that, the question raised is about the windows file path. But Metabase is installed on LINUX.
Now i want to know where is this path pointing to and what is stored at this point?
Hi @abhiec
That's a false positive. It's not a Windows-path, which uses back-slash for paths. And it's a placeholder reference, it's not a real place - just like person@example.com is not a real email address
@abhiec You can do anything you want, since it's just a placeholder, but given it's a false-positive, then I would just mark it as that in your "security check" and move on.
