NocoDB has Plaintext Storage of Shared View Passwords

Description

Summary

Shared view passwords were stored in plaintext in the database and compared using direct string equality.

Details

The password column in nc_views stored unhashed passwords. Verification used !== comparison across public-datas.service.ts, public-metas.service.ts, and calendar-datas.service.ts.

Impact

If the database is compromised, shared view passwords are immediately readable. Risk is limited to password reuse scenarios.
