CVE-2026-126278nocodb race condition
CVE-2026-126278 is a race condition in nocodb, rated high (8.7 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Two operations race on shared state, and an attacker who wins the race bypasses a check or corrupts data.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker win a timing window to bypass a check or corrupt shared state.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 27% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade nocodb to 2026.08.1 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
NocoDB before 2026.08.1 contains a race condition vulnerability in users.service.ts that allows holders of a valid reset token to perform multiple password changes by sending concurrent reset requests. Attackers can exploit the window created by slow bcrypt hashing before the token is cleared to overwrite the owner's new password and lock them out.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Request handlers and jobs that share state. The flaw sits between concurrent requests or processes.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between concurrent requests or processes. An attacker who crosses it can win a timing window to bypass a check or corrupt shared state.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does nocodb run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
