Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain full administrative control of a fresh, non-cloud NocoDB deployment during initial setup.
The vulnerability exists due to administrator bootstrap being silently skipped when the admin email is configured but the admin password is empty, leaving first-user registration open. An unauthenticated attacker can register through the public signup endpoint before any user account exists and receive Super Admin privileges.
