nocodb: Improper Privilege Management
CVE-2026-126282 is a high-severity improper privilege management vulnerability in nocodb, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 2026.08.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating nocodb to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update nocodb to 2026.08.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description
NocoDB from 2026.04.0 before 2026.08.0 contains an improper privilege management vulnerability in org-users.service.ts where updating a user's legacy organization role rewrites their default-workspace role. Revoked users can silently regain Creator-level read, write and schema modification access across all default-workspace bases using their existing session token.

The underlying weakness: Improper Privilege Management
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
- Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
