Code Injection in flowise-components (CVE-2026-69256)
Summary
Code injection in flowise-components (CVE-2026-69256). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via pyodide. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.1.3 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The CSVAgent node was observed to allow users to write Python code which gets executed via pyodide. The original intent was to allow users to utilise the pandas library for CSV processing. Although there is a denylist that checks for dangerous Python constructs from being passed in, pandas has a read_pickle() function that deserialises a pickled payload and this can be leveraged to achieve code execution.
Details
The affected file is the CSVAgent node, found in: flowise-components/nodes/agents/CSVAgent/CSVAgent.ts.
try {
const code = `import pandas as pd
import base64
from io import StringIO
import json
base64_string = "${base64String}"
decoded_data = base64.b64decode(base64_string)
csv_data = StringIO(decoded_data.decode('utf-8'))
df = pd.${customReadCSVFunc} <1>
my_dict = df.dtypes.astype(str).to_dict()
print(my_dict)
json.dumps(my_dict)`
dataframeColDict = await pyodide.runPythonAsync(code)
} catch (error) {
throw new Error(error)
}
At <1>, the customReadCSVFunc is supplied by the user. This input goes through input validation that denies dangerous Python constructs from being passed in:
const FORBIDDEN_PATTERNS: Array<{ pattern: RegExp; reason: string }> = [
// Imports (the executor pre-imports pandas and numpy; LLM code must not add any imports)
{ pattern: /\bfrom\s+\S+\s+import\b/g, reason: 'import statement (from...import)'…

CVE-2026-69256 (flowise-components) — CWE-94 / CVSS v3 8.8
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / no user interaction
Attack surface: pyodide / pandas / CSVAgent / customReadCSVFunc
Patched: 3.1.3 — 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.
Arbitrary code execution (CWE-94) exists in flowise-components. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via pyodide.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of flowise-components. Attack surface: pyodide / pandas / CSVAgent / customReadCSVFunc.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to 3.1.3.
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-components' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
