NocoDB: Server-Side Request Forgery via Spreadsheet Fetch URL
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The spreadsheet-fetch endpoint (axiosRequestMake) accepted URLs whose path contained a permitted extension anywhere in the string, and applied a hand-rolled regex blocklist that omitted 127.0.0.0/8 and 169.254.0.0/16, allowing the cloud-metadata endpoint to be reached with a crafted URL.
Potential impact
Authenticated users with editor permission could read cloud metadata and other internal HTTP endpoints reachable from the NocoDB process. On affected installs the spreadsheet import path was a credential-exfiltration primitive on cloud hosts.
Technical context
The extension matcher is now anchored to the end of the path or immediately before the query string (/\.(xls|xlsx|xlsm|ods|ots)(\?|$)/i and /\.(csv)(\?|$)/i), so http://169.254.169.254/credentials/.xlsx no longer satisfies the format gate. The hand-rolled IP blocklist is removed in favour of useAgent(url) from request-filtering-agent, which blocks private and loopback ranges at the socket layer.
Evidence: public source recordsAffected products
| Affected package, product or range | Fix status |
|---|---|
| Consult the referenced vendor advisory for affected versions. | Consult source advisory |
Matching a version is only one part of assessing exposure. QFinch has not assessed your environment on this public page.
Remediation
Apply the vendor-supported fixed release or mitigation, then verify the affected component is no longer reachable.
- Confirm the affected product and reachable code path exist in your environment.
- Apply the vendor-supported patch or mitigation from the primary advisory.
- Rescan the exact deployed revision and retain verification evidence.
