NocoDB: Hidden Column Exposure in Public Shared View Endpoints
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for nocodb. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning
Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.

### Summary Public shared-view endpoints exposed values from columns that the view owner had hidden, via three independent paths: groupBy returned raw values for any column named in the request, filter and sort arrays operated on hidden columns enabling boolean-blind extraction, and the related-data list accepted arbitrary link-column IDs from other tables in the same base. ### Details A new `sanitizeListArgsForPublicView` helper now strips request keys that should never be caller-controlled (e.g. `getHiddenColumn`, `nested`), parses `where` clauses against a restricted alias map that only contains visible columns, and recursively removes filter/sort entries whose `fk_column_id` is not in the visible set. `validateGroupByColumnNames` and `validateGroupColumnId` reject groupBy requests whose `column_name` (CSV-style) or `groupColumnId` is not in the visible or group-by column set. `relDataList` now checks `column.fk_model_id === currentModel.id` before resolving the linked table, matching the pre-existing check on `publicMmList` and `publicHmList`. ### Impact Anyone with a shared-view UUID could enumerate hidden-column values directly (via groupBy), confirm hidden-column values by

What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
