GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w is a high-severity (CVSS 7.6) Code Injection vulnerability in flowise. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Flowise vulnerable to code injection via api/v1

flowiseReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
An issue in FlowiseAI Inc Flowise prior to v1.8.1 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted script to the api/v1 component.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for flowise. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update flowise to 1.8.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-6wp6-22x5-rr3w across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
