Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In NocoDB, versions 0.81.0 through 0.83.8 are affected by CSV Injection vulnerability (Formula Injection). A low privileged attacker can create a new table to inject payloads in the table rows. When an administrator accesses the User Management endpoint and exports the data as a CSV file and opens it, the payload gets executed.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Nocodb version 0.83.9 or later (any version after 0.83.8)

  1. 1. Backup your current Nocodb database and configuration
  2. 2. Identify your current Nocodb version (check package.json or docker tag)
  3. 3. Upgrade Nocodb to version 0.83.9 or later (the next release after the affected range)
  4. 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number in the UI or API
  5. 5. Test that CSV export functionality works correctly in the User Management section
  6. 6. Confirm that formula injection payloads are now properly escaped in CSV exports
Caveat Minimal risk - this is a security patch release, but always review release notes for any configuration changes
