CVE-2026-47384
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 2026.05.1, an authenticated user with column-create permission can inject SQL into the bulk groupBy endpoint by setting a column's title to a SQL fragment. The bulk groupBy path in group-by.ts builds three database-specific knex.raw() aggregations that interpolate the request's column_name directly into the SQL string. Column lookup in data-table.service.ts matches on both the sanitized column_name field and the free-text title, so a title containing a SQL fragment bypasses the public endpoint's existing column allowlist and reaches the query builder unescaped. This vulnerability is fixed in 2026.05.1.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in NocoDB's bulk groupBy endpoint allows authenticated users with column-create permission to inject arbitrary SQL by setting a column's title to a SQL fragment. The group-by.ts endpoint uses knex.raw() which directly interpolates the column_name into SQL strings, and the column lookup in data-table.service.ts matches on both the sanitized column_name and the free-text title field, enabling the allowlist bypass.

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.
-
Confirm NocoDB installation and versionLocate the NocoDB instance and identify its version by checking package.json, docker image tag, or the /api/v1/version endpointAffected if The installed version is lower than 2026.05.1 and the application uses the bulk groupBy endpoint functionality
-
Verify column-create permission existsCheck user roles and permissions in NocoDB admin panel or database to determine if the tested user has column-create permissionAffected if Users with column-create permission can exploit this vulnerability
-
Inspect group-by.ts endpoint logicLocate the group-by.ts file in the NocoDB source code and examine the knex.raw() call that interpolates column_name into SQL stringsAffected if The code directly uses unescaped column_name in knex.raw() calls without proper parameterization
-
Check data.table.service.ts column lookupExamine the column lookup function in data.table.service.ts to verify it matches on both the sanitized column_name and the free-text title fieldAffected if The lookup allows bypass of sanitization by matching on the title field which can contain injected SQL fragments
-
Validate endpoint accessibilityConfirm the /api/v1/db/bulk/groupBy endpoint is accessible and accepts column title parametersAffected if The bulk groupBy endpoint is exposed and accepts arbitrary column title values that reach the vulnerable code path
A NocoDB instance is affected if it is running a version prior to 2026.05.1 and allows authenticated users with column-create permission to access the bulk groupBy endpoint with column titles that can bypass sanitization through the title field lookup.

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 2026.05.1 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement strict input validation on the title field to prevent SQL fragment injection and ensure column lookups do not rely on unsanitized free-text fields.
2026.05.1
- 1. Backup your current NocoDB installation and database before upgrading.
- 2. Upgrade NocoDB to version 2026.05.1 or later.
- 3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the NocoDB version.
- 4. Test that the bulk groupBy functionality works correctly after the upgrade.
- 5. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by attempting the previously vulnerable action with a user that has column-create permissions.
