CVE-2026-47375
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 · uneditedNocoDB is software for building databases as spreadsheets. Prior to 2026.04.1, an authenticated user with columnAdd permission on a Postgres-backed base can inject arbitrary SQL into the formula engine via the optional direction argument of ARRAYSORT(...). The value is unrestricted by formula validation and embedded into a knex.raw ORDER BY clause, executing during column creation and on every subsequent record read of the formula column. The vulnerability is specific to the Postgres mapping for ARRAYSORT in packages/nocodb/src/db/functionMappings/pg.ts. This vulnerability is fixed in 2026.04.1.
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.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAuthenticated SQL injection in NocoDB's ARRAYSORT function for Postgres databases. The optional direction argument is not validated and gets directly embedded into a knex.raw ORDER BY clause during column creation and on every record read of the formula column, allowing arbitrary SQL execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify NocoDB versionCheck the running NocoDB instance version (typically accessible via the UI footer, API endpoint, or container image tag). Compare against the fixed version 2026.04.1.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 2026.04.1.
-
Identify database backendDetermine which database NocoDB is using as its underlying storage. This can typically be found in the NocoDB configuration file, environment variables (NC_DB), or the UI database settings.Affected if Postgres is the configured database backend.
-
Locate ARRAYSORT formula columnsInspect the base schema for any columns created using the ARRAYSORT function in formula expressions. This can be done by examining column definitions via NocoDB API or UI column configuration panels.Affected if Any formula column uses the ARRAYSORT function with a direction argument.
-
Review columnAdd permissionCheck user or role permissions for the affected bases to determine if columnAdd or columnEdit permissions are granted. This is typically found in the workspace/user management settings or via API endpoints for role permissions.Affected if Users have columnAdd or columnEdit permissions on Postgres-backed bases containing ARRAYSORT formula columns.
A user is affected if their NocoDB version is earlier than 2026.04.1, they use Postgres as the database, and they have ARRAYSORT formula columns with users who possess columnAdd permissions.

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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to NocoDB version 2026.04.1 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict or revoke columnAdd permission for Postgres-backed bases until the patch can be applied.
2026.04.1
- 1. Identify the current NocoDB version in use
- 2. Plan for upgrade during a maintenance window
- 3. Back up the existing NocoDB database and configuration
- 4. Upgrade NocoDB to version 2026.04.1 or later
- 5. Verify the upgrade was successful
- 6. Test that ARRAYSORT function works correctly on Postgres-backed bases
- 7. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is no longer present
