NocoDB: Missing Ownership Check in MCP Attachment Read
A low-privilege MCP token holder with knowledge of an attachment path could read any
file in shared storage, including attachments belonging to other bases and workspaces,
because the MCP readAttachment tool did not verify the file's ownership.
The MCP readAttachment tool accepts caller-supplied path/url values and streams
the file via the storage adapter. The handler now looks up the path in
nc_file_references and requires a non-deleted row whose base_id matches the
caller's MCP context before streaming; otherwise it returns
Attachment is not accessible from this MCP context. The lookup tolerates both
download/uploads/... and uploads/... styles.
Arbitrary read against shared storage scoped to attachments the caller's MCP context
should not see. Exploitation requires an MCP token and a known attachment path.
