CVE-2026-102650 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-11-06

Nuxt Content is a file-based CMS for Nuxt applications. An unauthenticated attacker can submit specially crafted SQL queries to the content API endpoint that bypass security checks, consuming excessive CPU and memory to freeze the application and block all concurrent requests. Fully static prerendered deployments without exposed server endpoints are unaffected.

Vendors: [npm](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/npm), [Nuxt](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/nuxt).

## Technical details

The /__nuxt_content/:collection/query POST endpoint accepts user-controlled SQL in the query field, passed to better-sqlite3. Query validation via assertSafeQuery only rejects a short list of SQL keywords but permits function calls (randomblob, zeroblob, hex, length) in WHERE clauses. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger synchronous expensive SQLite expressions that block the Node.js event loop, causing denial of service.
