CVE-2026-69259: CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in FlowiseAI Flowise
CVE-2026-69259 is a critical code injection vulnerability in FlowiseAI's Flowise prior to version 3.1.3. The SQLite Record Manager node improperly handles user-controlled configuration, allowing an authenticated attacker to overwrite the SQLite database path. Exploiting this, an attacker running the published Docker image as root could write malicious SQLite databases to sensitive system paths such as /etc/chromium/exploit.conf. By controlling database content, the attacker could inject shell syntax that executes when Puppeteer launches Chromium and sources configuration files. This vulnerability is fixed in Flowise version 3.1.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
FlowiseAI Flowise versions before 3.1.3 contain a CWE-94 code injection vulnerability in the SQLite Record Manager node. The node accepts user-controlled additionalConfig which can overwrite the SQLite database path, enabling an authenticated attacker with access to the Docker image running as root to write SQLite databases to arbitrary system paths. By crafting the table name and namespace, the attacker can inject shell syntax into these files. When Puppeteer launches Chromium and sources configuration files from /etc/chromium/*.conf, the injected shell commands execute, leading to remote code execution. The issue is resolved in version 3.1.3.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can achieve remote code execution by injecting shell commands into system configuration files via a manipulated SQLite database path. This can lead to full system compromise, especially since the Docker image runs as root. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4, indicating critical severity with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Flowise to version 3.1.3 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated or required as the fix addresses the root cause. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the official update.
