How to Fix CVE-2026-46548

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: Latest secure release
npm install nocodb@Latest secure release
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-2026-46548, 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 the patched release), 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-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. 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 `request-filtering-agent` SSRF protection was non-functional in the four notification webhook plugins (Slack, Discord, Mattermost, Teams) because `httpAgent` / `httpsAgent` were passed as part of the request **body** rather than the axios **config**. An authenticated user with hook-creation permission could direct outbound POST requests to arbitrary internal hosts. ### Details `axios.post(url, data, config)` expects connection agents in the third (config) argument. In all four plugins, the agents were placed in the second (data) argument and serialised as JSON body content: ```ts // packages/nocodb/src/plugins/slack/Slack.ts (and Discord / Mattermost / Teams — identical pattern) return await axios.post(webhook_url, { text, httpAgent: useAgent(webhook_url), // wrong position — serialised, not used httpsAgent: useAgent(webhook_url), }); ``` The webhook flow: an Editor+ user creates a webhook with `notification.payload.channels[].webhook_url` pointing to an internal host; on trigger, `WebhookInvoker.invoke()` calls the plugin's `sendMessage()` which performs the outbound `axios.post` with no SSRF filtering applied. This is distinct from GHSA-xr7v-j379-34v9, which covers a blind SSRF via HEAD in the upload-by-URL path. ### Impact - Authenticated user (Editor+) can reach cloud-metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`) and internal services. - Combined with verbose hook logging (`NC_AUTOMATION_LOG_LEVEL=ALL`), response bodies may be exfiltrated. ### Credit This issue was reported by [@ik0z](https://github.com/ik0z).
