CVE-2026-47376
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, the password-reset page rendered the URL token directly into a JavaScript string literal in a server-rendered EJS template. EJS <%= %> HTML-entity-encodes a fixed set of characters but does not escape single quotes or backslashes, so a crafted token could break out of the JS string context and execute attacker-controlled script in the NocoDB origin. Triggering required only that a victim follow a malicious password-reset link. 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 confidenceNocoDB prior to 2026.04.1 has a stored XSS in the password-reset page where the reset token is rendered into a JavaScript string literal in a server-side EJS template. The `<%= %>` escaping only handles HTML entities but does not escape single quotes or backslashes, allowing attackers to break out of the JS string context and inject arbitrary JavaScript via a crafted token in a malicious password-reset link.

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.
-
Identify NocoDB installation and versionLocate the NocoDB installation directory and check the package.json file for the version number, or run 'nc-db --version' or check the UI footer for the version displayAffected if The installed version is prior to 2026.04.1
-
Confirm password-reset page uses EJS templatesSearch the NocoDB source code for the password-reset template file (commonly in views or templates directory) and verify it contains EJS syntax with '<%= %>' tags embedding the reset tokenAffected if The password-reset template uses unescaped '<%= %>' tags for the token without additional JS escaping
-
Verify the server-side rendering contextExamine the password-reset route handler to confirm the token is passed directly to the EJS template without sanitization or JSON encodingAffected if The token parameter is passed to the template without escaping single quotes or backslashes for JavaScript context
-
Check network response for token reflectionRequest the password-reset page with a test token containing special characters (single quote, backslash) and inspect the HTML source to see if characters are reflected as-isAffected if The token value appears in the page source without proper JavaScript string escaping (backslash for backslashes, \' for single quotes)
You are affected if NocoDB version is prior to 2026.04.1 AND the password-reset template uses EJS '<%= %>' tags that reflect the token without JavaScript-safe escaping.

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. Until then, users should not click on untrusted password-reset links.
2026.04.1 or later
- Backup your NocoDB installation and database before upgrading
- Upgrade NocoDB to version 2026.04.1 or later
- Verify the upgrade completed successfully
- Test the password reset functionality to confirm the vulnerability is patched
