How to Fix CVE-2026-46554

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-2026-46554, 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-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 Deleted API tokens continued to authenticate requests until their cache entry expired, because the auth cache was not invalidated by token value at deletion time. ### Details The API token deletion path removed the database row but did not evict the token-value keyed entry from the auth cache. The auth middleware therefore continued to accept the deleted token until the cache entry aged out, leaving a deletion-to-revocation window of up to three days. ### Impact Tokens revoked through the UI or API continued to grant access during the cache TTL, breaking the operator's expected security guarantee that deletion is immediate. ### Credit This issue was reported by [@bugbunny-research](https://github.com/bugbunny-research).
