Description
Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to 3.1.0, Flowise is vulnerable to a critical unauthenticated remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability. It can be exploited via a parameter override bypass using the FILE-STORAGE:: keyword combined with a NODE_OPTIONS environment variable injection. This allows for the execution of arbitrary system commands with root privileges within the containerized Flowise instance, requiring only a single HTTP request and no authentication or knowledge of the instance. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.0.

Impact

Flowise instances prior to version 3.1.0 are vulnerable to an unauthenticated remote command execution flaw that allows a parameter override using the FILE‑STORAGE:: keyword combined with a NODE_OPTIONS environment variable injection. Exploitation results in arbitrary system commands executing with the privileges of the containerised Flowise process, typically root. The description states that the commands run in the container; based on this it is inferred that a skilled attacker could potentially impact the host that runs the container, but the CVE does not explicitly claim full host control.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Flowise, a drag‑and‑drop interface for building large language model flows, provided by FlowiseAI. Any installation running a Flowise version earlier than 3.1.0 is susceptible, regardless of the operating system, as long as it is executed within a containerised environment. No further sub‑version or patch details are supplied.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.8 the risk is considered Critical. The EPSS score of 14% indicates a notable likelihood that the vulnerability could be actively exploited, and the lack of authentication and single‑request requirement mean that compromised or exposed instances pose a high risk. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, yet the high severity and the ability to achieve root privileges make it a top priority. Attackers can reach the target by sending a crafted HTTP request containing the overriding parameters; no additional code execution prerequisites are required beyond the standard service operation. The description suggests that commands execute with container privileges, implying that the host may be affected, but this is inferred and not explicitly stated in the CVE.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Flowise to version 3.1.0 or later; this version includes the patch that removes the vulnerable parameter override path.
  • If upgrading is not feasible, limit exposure by placing the Flowise instance behind a firewall or access control that only permits trusted IP addresses.
  • Configure the container environment to disable the NODE_OPTIONS variable or to prevent its injection so that command line options cannot be manipulated.
