How to Fix CVE-2026-28361

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.

nocodb fixed: 0.301.3 
npm install nocodb@0.301.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls nocodb

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-28361, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls nocodb

Analyze 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 0.301.3), 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-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, where the system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the 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.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary The MCP token service did not validate token ownership, allowing a Creator within the same base to read, regenerate, or delete another user's MCP tokens if the token ID was known. ### Details `McpTokenService.get()`, `regenerateToken()`, and `delete()` did not filter by `fk_user_id`. The analogous `ApiTokensService` correctly enforced ownership. ### Impact Limited — requires Creator role and knowledge of target token ID. Primary risk is denial of service (invalidating tokens) and scoped token disclosure. ### Credit This issue was reported by [@bugbunny-research](https://github.com/bugbunny-research) (bugbunny.ai).
