Summary
NocoDB before 2026.08.0 contains an sql injection vulnerability that allows authenticated users with read access to run arbitrary read queries via the legacy where parameter on PostgreSQL. Attackers, including Viewer-role users, can inject single quotes into filter values concatenated by CustomKnex.ts to read other tables, schemas, view-filtered rows, and hidden columns.
Who should check
Teams running NocoDB before 2026.08.0 on PostgreSQL-backed bases, including those with Viewer-role users who have read access.

What to do
Check whether your setup matches what the bug needs.
The database behind the NocoDB base is PostgreSQL; the affected code path is the PostgreSQL branch. NocoDB versions before 2026.08.0.Upgrade to a fixed version: 2026.08.0.
Check your systems with an agent
Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-126285 (NocoDB before 2026.08.0 SQL Injection via Legacy where Query Filter), using the cve.now data below.
Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.
What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126285 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- nocodb nocodb: fixed in 2026.08.0
Fixed versions: 2026.08.0.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- The database behind the NocoDB base is PostgreSQL; the affected code path is the PostgreSQL branch. (source: https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/security/advisories/GHSA-f2jp-xg6f-hjf6)
- NocoDB versions before 2026.08.0. (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/nocodb-before-2026.08.0-sql-injection-via-legacy-where-query-filter)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126285 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126285 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.
How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.
Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/security/advisories/GHSA-f2jp-xg6f-hjf6
- https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/nocodb-before-2026.08.0-sql-injection-via-legacy-where-query-filter
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.
Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

Questions about CVE-2026-126285
Is CVE-2026-126285 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
A SQL injection flaw in NocoDB's legacy where query filter lets an authenticated user with read access read data beyond their granted scope. This can include other tables and schemas in the same database, rows hidden by view filters, and hidden columns.Source: github.com, vulncheck.com
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-126285?
nocodb: before 2026.08.0.Source: cve.now feed data
Am I affected, and how do I check?
NocoDB versions before 2026.08.0 are affected, and only the PostgreSQL code path was affected. To check, look at the NocoDB version you run and confirm which database backs your base.Source: github.com, vulncheck.com
How do I fix CVE-2026-126285?
Upgrade NocoDB to version 2026.08.0 or later, which is the fixed version.Source: github.com, vulncheck.com
