NocoDB: Path Traversal via SQLite Source Filename
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

nocodbnpmDescription
Summary
An authenticated user with base-create permission can attach a SQLite source pointing at an arbitrary file on the NocoDB host, including NocoDB's own internal databases.
Details
The SQLite client and the base/integration create services accepted a caller-supplied
filename and passed it to fs.exists and fs.open('w') without restricting the location.
A user could point a source at noco.db, at a tenant database under nc_minimal_dbs/,
or at any writable path the NocoDB process can reach, and then read or overwrite its
contents through the regular table APIs.
Impact
Disclosure and modification of NocoDB internal state, of other tenants' databases, and of any file the NocoDB process can read or write. Authentication and base-create permission are required.

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 2026.05.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wvqj-9wv4-7ff5 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-wvqj-9wv4-7ff5 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-wvqj-9wv4-7ff5. 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-wvqj-9wv4-7ff5 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-wvqj-9wv4-7ff5 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
