## What is CVE-2026-53928?

CVE-2026-53928 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in nocodb, published on 23 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

NocoDB is software for building databases as spreadsheets. Prior to 2026.05.1, a stolen refresh token survived a password-forgot flow and could be used to mint fresh JWTs even after the user reset their password. passwordChange and passwordReset deleted the user's refresh tokens, but passwordForgot only rotated token_version and revoked OAuth tokens — it did not call UserRefreshToken.deleteAllUserToken(user.id). An attacker holding a captured refresh cookie could still exchange it for a new access token after the victim triggered the recovery flow. This vulnerability is fixed in 2026.05.1.

Weakness: CWE-613 (DEPRECATED: Insufficient Session Expiration)

- nocodb (npm): affected all versions up to 0.301.3; no fix listed

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
