EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
nocodbnpmDescription
Summary
An authenticated user with Editor role can inject arbitrary HTML into Rich Text cells by bypassing the TipTap editor and sending raw HTML via the API.
Details
The TipTap editor sanitizes HTML client-side, but the backend stores raw HTML without server-side sanitization. The stored content is rendered via v-html in TextArea.vue through NcMarkdownParser.parse() which performs no sanitization.
Impact
Stored XSS — malicious scripts execute for any user viewing the cell.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for nocodb, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update nocodb to 0.301.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-28359 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-28359 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-28359. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
