flowisenpmDescription
Summary
The Flowise platform has a critical Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability combined with a Business Logic Flaw in the PUT /api/v1/loginmethod endpoint.
While the endpoint requires authentication, it fails to validate if the authenticated user has ownership or administrative rights over the target organizationId. This allows any low-privileged user (including "Free" plan users) to:
- Overwrite the SSO configuration of any other organization.
- Enable "Enterprise-only" features (SSO/SAML) without a license.
- Perform Account Takeover by redirecting the authentication flow.
Details
The backend accepts the organizationId parameter from the JSON body and updates the database record corresponding to that ID. There is no middleware or logic check to ensure request.user.organizationId === body.organizationId.
PoC
Prerequisites:
- The attacker creates a standard "Free" account and obtains a valid JWT token (Cookie/Header).
- The attacker identifies the target organizationId (e.g., bd2b74e0-e0cd-4bb5-ba98-3cc2ae683d5d).
Step-by-Step Exploitation: The attacker sends the following PUT request to overwrite the victim's Google SSO configuration.
Request:
PUT /api/v1/loginmethod HTTP/2
Host: cloud.flowiseai.com
Cookie: token=<ATTACKER_JWT_TOKEN>
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
{
"organizationId": "bd2b74e0-e0cd-4bb5-ba98-3cc2ae683d5d",
"userId": "6ab311fa-0d0a-4bd6-996e-4ae721377fb2",
"providers": [
{
"providerLabel": "Google",
"providerName": "google",
"config": {
"clientID": "ATTACKER_MALICIOUS_CLIENT_ID",
"clientSecret": "ATTACKER_MALICIOUS_SECRET"
},
"status": "enable"
}
]
}
Response: The server responds with 200 OK, confirming the modification has been applied to the victim's organization context.
{
"status": "OK",
"organizationId": "bd2b74e0-e0cd-4bb5-ba98-3cc2ae683d5d"
}
Impact
- Account Takeover: An attacker can replace a victim organization's legitimate OAuth credentials (e.g., Google Client ID) with their own malicious application credentials. When victim employees try to log in via SSO, they are authenticated against the attacker's application, potentially allowing the attacker to hijack sessions or steal credentials.
- License Control Bypass: Users on the "Free" tier can illicitly enable and configure SSO providers (Azure, Okta, etc.), which are features strictly restricted to the "Enterprise" plan.

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 3.0.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-cwc3-p92j-g7qm 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-cwc3-p92j-g7qm 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-cwc3-p92j-g7qm. 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-cwc3-p92j-g7qm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-cwc3-p92j-g7qm across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
