flowisenpmDescription
Summary
These endpoints accept a client-controlled credential parameter. The server loads credentials by id and uses them directly, without checking whether that credential belongs to the caller’s workspace. If an attacker knows another workspace’s credentialId, they can use that workspace’s OpenAI key.
Details
Route permissions (assistants:*) only check feature access. They do not check credential ownership. The controller passes req.query.credential straight to the service. The service does findOneBy({ id: credentialId }), decrypts the credential, and calls OpenAI APIs. There is no workspaceId check in this flow, so this is an IDOR.
Impact
- Cross-workspace unauthorized use of stored OpenAI keys.
- Unauthorized read/modify/delete of victim vector stores and files.
- Direct billing impact on victim OpenAI account.
- Multi-tenant boundary violation with practical exploitability.
Reproduction steps
- Set up two workspaces: A (attacker) and B (victim), each with an OpenAI credential.
- Log in as a user in workspace A (with assistants-related permissions).
- Call
/api/v1/openai-assistants-vector-storeand setcredentialto B’s credential ID. - Example:
GET /api/v1/openai-assistants-vector-store?credential=<B_credentialId>. - If responses/actions are executed using B’s credential context, the issue is confirmed.

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-2026-70472 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
