Vulnerability in flowise (CVE-2026-69258)
Summary
Vulnerability in flowise (CVE-2026-69258). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/v1/prediction/. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.1.3 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The POST /api/v1/prediction/:id endpoint — which is unauthenticated (whitelisted in WHITELIST_URLS) — accepts an overrideConfig object in the request body. This object is unconditionally spread into the internal flowConfig and flowData objects at two locations in the codebase without checking apiOverrideStatus. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary properties into the flow execution context of any public chatflow, enabling session hijacking, cross-session data pollution, chat history manipulation, and injection of attacker-controlled values into $flow.* template variables consumed by flow nodes.
This is distinct from the previously reported overrideConfig vulnerability (GHSA-5cph-wvm9-45gj), which addressed overrideConfig's ability to modify node input parameters via replaceInputsWithConfig(). That function is properly gated behind apiOverrideStatus. The vulnerability reported here is in two separate, ungated spread operations that were not addressed by the GHSA-5cph fix.
Root Cause
In packages/server/src/utils/buildChatflow.ts at lines 557–564, the incomingInput.overrideConfig object is spread directly into flowConfig with no gating:
// File: packages/server/src/utils/buildChatflow.ts, lines 557-564
const flowConfig: IFlowConfig = {
chatflowid,
chatflowId: chatflow.id,
chatId,
sessionId,
chatHistory,
apiMessageId,
...incomingInput.overrideConfig // <-…

CVE-2026-69258 (flowise) — CWE-639 / CVSS v3 9.1
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: POST /api/v1/prediction/ / GET /api/v1/public-chatflows / WHITELIST_URLS / overrideConfig
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.
A vulnerability (CWE-639) exists in flowise. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/v1/prediction/ without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of flowise. Attack surface: POST /api/v1/prediction/ / GET /api/v1/public-chatflows / WHITELIST_URLS / overrideConfig.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
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 POST /api/v1/prediction/ requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'flowise' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'flowise' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
flowiseを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /api/v1/prediction/' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /api/v1/prediction/への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade flowise to 3.1.3ステージング環境で 3.1.3 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /api/v1/prediction/ on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
