CVE-2026-48128
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 · uneditedBudibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.39.0, the executeQuery automation step in Budibase accepts a queryId from automation step inputs and passes it directly to the query execution controller without additional validation. When combined with a REST datasource configured to target internal infrastructure, this creates a server-side request forgery path where automation execution causes the Budibase server to make outbound HTTP requests to attacker-influenced destinations. The automation output then returns the response, potentially exposing internal service data. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.39.0.
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 confidenceBudibase versions prior to 3.39.0 have an SSRF vulnerability in the executeQuery automation step. The queryId parameter is passed directly to the query execution controller without validation. When a REST datasource targets internal infrastructure, attackers can influence the server to make HTTP requests to internal services and exfiltrate the response data through automation outputs.

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 installed Budibase versionCheck the Budibase version by accessing the admin console, checking the container/package metadata, or querying the /api/global/self endpoint if authenticated. Compare the version number to the affected range (prior to 3.39.0).Affected if The installed version is earlier than 3.39.0
-
Identify REST datasourcesNavigate to the Datasources section in the Budibase admin panel or query the /api/datasources endpoint to list all configured datasources. Identify datasources with type REST or HTTP.Affected if Any REST or HTTP datasources exist in the environment
-
Check if REST datasources target internal infrastructureExamine the configuration of each REST datasource. Look for target URLs pointing to internal IP addresses (127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x), localhost, or internal hostname patterns (internal.*, *.local, etc.).Affected if A REST datasource has a target URL resolving to internal network addresses or localhost
-
Check for executeQuery automation usageReview automation workflows in the Automations section. Identify any automation that uses the executeQuery action step. Check which datasource and queryId are referenced by these steps.Affected if An automation uses the executeQuery step with a REST datasource configured to target internal infrastructure
The environment is affected if Budibase version is prior to 3.39.0 AND a REST datasource targeting internal infrastructure is used within an executeQuery automation step.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 Budibase to version 3.39.0 or later to obtain the fix. Additionally, review and restrict REST datasource configurations to prevent targeting internal infrastructure.
3.39.0
- Identify the current Budibase installation version using the admin interface or CLI
- Stop the Budibase service to prevent active connections during upgrade
- Backup the Budibase database and configuration files
- Upgrade Budibase to version 3.39.0 by following the official upgrade documentation for your deployment method (Docker, Kubernetes, or npm)
- After upgrade completes, verify the new version is 3.39.0 or higher
- Restart the Budibase service
- Test the executeQuery automation step to confirm it functions correctly with the fix in place
