CVE-2026-46550
Published:May 21, 2026
Updated:May 24, 2026
Summary The refresh-token cookie was set with "httpOnly: true" but missing both the "secure" flag and the "sameSite" attribute. Over plain HTTP the cookie could be intercepted on the network; without "sameSite", browsers attached it to cross-site POSTs, enabling CSRF against the token-refresh endpoint. Details In "packages/nocodb/src/services/users/helpers.ts", "setTokenCookie" produced the cookie with only "httpOnly", an "expires" date, and an optional "domain" from "NC_BASE_HOST_NAME" — no "secure", no "sameSite". The refresh endpoint "POST /api/v2/auth/token/refresh" ("auth.controller.ts") read the cookie unconditionally and returned a new JWT, with no CSRF token. The fix sets "httpOnly: true", "sameSite: 'lax'", and conditional "secure: req.ncSiteUrl.startsWith('https')" so the flag is active under HTTPS while still functional on plain-HTTP localhost development. This is distinct from GHSA-x4vh-j75g-268g (refresh-token lifecycle on password reset) — different root cause, different attack vector. Impact - Cookie interception on plain HTTP networks (no "secure"). - Cross-site refresh: malicious cross-origin pages could trigger token refresh and, combined with any same-origin XSS or open-redirect on the NocoDB domain, capture the new JWT. - Refresh tokens have multi-day expiry ("NC_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXP_IN_DAYS"), so the exposure window is long.
