SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in flowise (CVE-2026-43995)
Summary
SSRF in flowise (CVE-2026-43995). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via httpSecurity.ts. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.1.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Flowise introduced SSRF protections through a centralized HTTP security wrapper (httpSecurity.ts) that implements deny-list validation and IP pinning logic.
However, multiple tool implementations directly import and invoke raw HTTP clients (node-fetch, axiosInstead of using the secured wrapper.
Because enforcement is neither mandatory nor centralized, these tools bypass SSRF mitigation entirely, restoring full SSRF capability even after the patch.
This issue is distinct from specification trust issues and represents incomplete mitigation of previously addressed SSRF vulnerabilities.
Details
Intended Security Model:
All outbound HTTP requests should pass through the centralized validation layer implemented in:
packages/components/src/httpSecurity.ts
This layer performs:
HTTP_DENY_LISTenforcement- IP resolution validation
- IP pinning
- Loopback blocking
Observed Implementation Gap:
Multiple tools bypass this layer and import HTTP libraries directly.
Examples include:
packages/components/nodes/tools/OpenAPIToolkit/OpenAPIToolkit.tspackages/components/nodes/tools/WebScraperTool/WebScraperTool.tspackages/components/nodes/tools/MCP/core.tspackages/components/nodes/tools/Arxiv/core.ts
These files directly execute:
importfetchfrom'node-fetch'
or invoke axios without passing through the centralized validation wrapper.
Because there is no global interceptor or enforcement mechanism, outbound requ…

CVE-2026-43995 (flowise) — CWE-918 / CVSS v3 9.8
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: httpSecurity.ts / axios / HTTP_DENY_LIST / WebScraperTool
Patched: 3.1.0 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
SSRF (CWE-918) exists in flowise. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via httpSecurity.ts without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of flowise. Attack surface: httpSecurity.ts / axios / HTTP_DENY_LIST / WebScraperTool.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to 3.1.0.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'flowise' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
