Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
flowisenpmflowise-componentsnpmDescription
Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to 3.1.3, Flowise record manager and agent memory nodes allowed users to set arbitrary TypeORM DataSource options through the additionalConfig input in packages/components/nodes/recordmanager/MySQLRecordManager/MySQLrecordManager.ts, packages/components/nodes/recordmanager/PostgresRecordManager/PostgresRecordManager.ts, packages/components/nodes/recordmanager/SQLiteRecordManager/SQLiteRecordManager.ts, packages/components/nodes/memory/AgentMemory/MySQLAgentMemory/MySQLAgentMemory.ts, and packages/components/nodes/memory/AgentMemory/AgentMemory.ts. TypeORM DataSource options such as entities, subscribers, and migrations can load local JavaScript files, allowing an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the server by uploading a JavaScript payload and referencing it from additionalConfig.entities. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.3.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for flowise, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update flowise to 3.1.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-69251 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-69251 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-69251. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
