NocoDB: Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via Page Leaving Redirect URL

Description

Summary

A reflected XSS vulnerability exists in the Page Leaving Warning page. The ncRedirectUrl and ncBackUrl query parameters are used in window.location.href and <a> tag bindings without validation, allowing javascript: URI injection.

Details

PageLeavingWarning.vue reads ncRedirectUrl and ncBackUrl directly from the route query without validation. When isSameOriginUrl() returns false (as it does for javascript: URIs), the raw URL is assigned to window.location.href, executing arbitrary JavaScript. The redirect URL is also bound directly to an <a> tag's href attribute.

Impact

An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the NocoDB application by sending a crafted link to a victim. No authentication is required.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
