GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852
NocoDB Vulnerable to SQL Injection via DATEADD Formula
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.
Blast Radius
Weekly download volume for affected packages — a proxy for how broadly this vulnerability is deployed.
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.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for nocodb. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
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
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 pinpoints whether GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
