How severe is CVE-2026-28398?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-28398 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-28398?

CVE-2026-28398 affects the following packages: nocodb (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-28398?

Update nocodb to 0.301.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-28398 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-28398 in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-28398 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-28398?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-28398 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-28398 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-28398 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-28398?

CVE-2026-28398 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 4th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-28398?

CVE-2026-28398 is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2026-28398 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-28398 was published on March 2, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

User-controlled content in comments and rich text cells was rendered via v-html without sanitization, enabling stored XSS.

Details

Comments in Comments.vue and rich text in TextArea.vue were parsed by markdown-it with html: true and injected via v-html. The codebase had vue-dompurify-html available but these paths used raw v-html. Server-side, Comment.insert() used extractProps() instead of extractPropsAndSanitize().

Commenter role is sufficient for the comments vector; Editor role for rich text.

This issue was independently reported; see also GHSA-rcph-x7mj-54mm and GHSA-wwp2-x4rj-j8rm for the same root cause found by GitHub Security Lab.

Impact

Stored XSS — malicious scripts execute for any user viewing the comment or cell.
