How to Fix CVE-2026-28396

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-2026-28396, 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-613: Insufficient Session Expiration, where according to wasc, "insufficient session expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session ids for authorization.". 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 password reset flow did not revoke existing refresh tokens, allowing an attacker with a previously stolen refresh token to continue minting valid JWTs after the victim resets their password. ### Details `passwordReset()` in `users.service.ts` updated `token_version` (invalidating JWTs) but did not call `UserRefreshToken.deleteAllUserToken()`. The `refreshToken()` method only checked token existence, not `token_version`. Both `passwordChange()` and `signOut()` correctly deleted all refresh tokens. ### Impact An attacker who previously obtained a refresh token retains access after password reset until the token expires. ### Credit This issue was reported by [@bugbunny-research](https://github.com/bugbunny-research) (bugbunny.ai).
