• CVE-2025-27506: 0.71% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 53.61 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary The API endpoint related to the password reset function is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting. Details Throughout the source-code analysis, it has been found that the endpoint /api/v1/db/auth/password/reset/:tokenId is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting. The flaw occurs due to implementation of the client-side template engine ejs, specifically on file resetPassword.ts where the template is using the insecure function “<%-“ https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/ba5a191b33259d984fc92df225f7d82ede2ddb56/packages/nocodb/src/modules/auth/ui/auth/resetPassword.ts#L71 which is rendered by the function renderPasswordReset: https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/ba5a191b33259d984fc92df225f7d82ede2ddb56/packages/nocodb/src/modules/auth/auth.controller.ts#L251 PoC Send the request below to a vulnerable instance: /api/v1/db/auth/password/reset/asdsad%3C%2F%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E%3C%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E%61%6C%65%72%74%28%31%29%3C%2F%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E/ Impact The…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-27506

Advisory: NocoDB Vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting on Reset Password Page
IDs: CVE-2025-27506, GHSA-wf6c-hrhf-86cw
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-27506 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:37 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: nocodb 0.258.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm nocodb: affected < 0.258.0; fixed in 0.258.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls nocodb --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on nocodb.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
