nocodbnpmDescription
Summary
An authenticated user with Creator role can inject arbitrary SQL via the DATEADD formula's unit parameter.
Details
The third argument (unit) of DATEADD was interpolated directly into knex.raw() queries after only stripping quote characters. Validation in formulas.ts only checked Literal AST node types — non-Literal types bypassed validation entirely. Affected MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite function mappings.
Impact
SQL injection allowing data exfiltration or modification, scoped to the connected database.

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 GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
