CVE-2026-47375: NocoDB SQL Injection Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2026-47375 is a MODERATE (CVSS 6.0) sql injection vulnerability (CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) affecting NocoDB libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves postgres sql injection in formula `arraysort`. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 2026.04.1.
CVE-2026-47375 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 6.0
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-47375
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected NocoDB dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install nocodb@2026.04.1Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls nocodbHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-47375, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls nocodbAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of NocoDB in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2026.04.1), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls nocodb command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an sql command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended sql command when it is sent to a downstream component. without sufficient removal or quoting of sql syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated sql query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as sql instead of ordinary user data. In NocoDB, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"summary" : "NocoDB: Postgres SQL Injection in Formula `ARRAYSORT`",
"details" : "### Summary\n\nAn authenticated user with `columnAdd` permission on a Postgres-backed base can inject arbitrary SQL into the formula engine via the optional `direction` argument of `ARRAYSORT(...)`. The value is unrestricted by formula validation and embedded into a `knex.raw` `ORDER BY` clause, executing during column creation and on every subsequent record read of the formula column.\n\n### Details\n\nThe vulnerability is specific to the Postgres mapping for `ARRAYSORT` in `packages/nocodb/src/db/functionMappings/pg.ts`. Two factors combine:\n\n1. `ARRAYSORT` declares only argument count, not `validation.args.type`, so `validate-extract-tree.ts` does not enforce an allowlist on the second argument.\n2. The Postgres mapping then passes the attacker-controlled value through `sanitize(knex.raw(...))` into a raw SQL fragment:\n\n```ts\nconst direction = pt.arguments[1]\n ? sanitize(\n knex.raw(pt.arguments[1]?.value ?? (await fn(pt.arguments[1])).builder),\n )\n : knex.raw('asc');\n\nreturn {\n builder: knex.raw(`ARRAY(SELECT UNNEST(??) ORDER BY 1 ??)`, [source, direction]),\n};\n```\n\n`sanitize()` in `sqlSanitize.ts` only escapes `?` placeholder characters; it does not validate SQL syntax. A payload such as `\"desc, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM generate_series(1,30000000))\"` is accepted, persisted, and re-executed on every read of the formula column.\n\n### Impact\n\n- Authenticated SQL injection against Postgres-backed bases.\n- Requires `columnAdd` permission (creator/owner-level).\n- Proven impact: attacker-controlled heavy SQL causing multi-second query stalls (DoS).\n- Potentially extendable to broader SQL injection outcomes depending on database permissions and deployment hardening.\n- Limited to Postgres backends.\n\n### Credit\n\nThis issue was reported by [@leduckhuong](https://github.com/leduckhuong).",
