NocoDB Vulnerable to SQL Injection via DATEADD Formula
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

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 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, 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
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 GHSA-45rp-9p97-h852 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
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.
