Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: FlowiseAI
Product: Flowise

Description

Flowise is a low-code platform for building LLM applications. In versions up to and including 3.1.3, the POST /api/v1/node-load-method/:name endpoint is mounted without any route-level permission check and invokes component loadMethods with an attacker-controlled nodeName, loadMethod, inputs, and credential value. The selected credential is resolved by raw Credential.id via getCredentialData() and decrypted without verifying Credential.workspaceId against the caller's active or shared workspace, unlike other credential read paths which are workspace-scoped. As a result, an authenticated low-privilege user (or workspace API key) in one workspace can supply a credential ID owned by another workspace and cause Flowise to act as a confused deputy, performing third-party provider calls with the victim workspace's credential and returning provider metadata to the attacker. Statically identified affected load methods include Google Drive listFiles, Google Sheets listSpreadsheets, and AWS DynamoDB KV Storage listTables. The raw credential secret itself is not returned to the attacker. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.4.

Technical Analysis

FlowiseAI Flowise up to and including version 3.1.3 has a flaw in the POST /api/v1/node-load-method/:name endpoint, which is mounted without route-level permission checks. This endpoint invokes component loadMethods with attacker-controlled parameters including nodeName, loadMethod, inputs, and credential ID. Credential resolution via getCredentialData() decrypts credentials without verifying that the Credential.workspaceId matches the caller's workspace, unlike other credential read paths that enforce workspace scoping. Consequently, an authenticated low-privilege user or workspace API key can supply a credential ID from another workspace, causing Flowise to act as a confused deputy by making third-party provider calls (e.g., Google Drive listFiles, Google Sheets listSpreadsheets, AWS DynamoDB listTables) with the victim's credentials and returning provider metadata to the attacker. The raw credential secret is not returned. The vulnerability is addressed in Flowise version 3.1.4.

Potential Impact

An attacker with low-privilege authentication or a workspace API key can bypass authorization controls to use credentials from other workspaces. This allows the attacker to make third-party service calls on behalf of the victim workspace, potentially exposing provider metadata. The raw credential secrets are not disclosed, but the misuse of credentials can lead to unauthorized actions and data exposure via third-party integrations.

Mitigation Recommendations

This vulnerability is fixed in Flowise version 3.1.4. Users should upgrade to version 3.1.4 or later to remediate this issue. Since Flowise is a cloud service, the vendor manages remediation for the cloud-hosted service; verify with the vendor advisory that the service is updated accordingly.
