FINDING 1: Missing Authorization on Execution Update Endpoint
Severity: HIGH (CVSS ~7.5)
Type: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization)
File: packages/server/src/routes/executions/index.ts:11
Description: The PUT /api/v1/executions/:id endpoint lacks the checkAnyPermission() middleware that protects all other execution endpoints (GET, DELETE). Any authenticated user — regardless of their assigned permissions — can modify any execution record.
Evidence:
// Line 7 - GET has permission check
router.get('/', checkAnyPermission('executions:view'), executionController.getAllExecutions)
// Line 11 - PUT has NO permission check
router.put(['/', '/:id'], executionController.updateExecution) // <-- MISSING checkAnyPermission
// Line 14 - DELETE has permission checkadvisory_1_execution_auth_bypass
router.delete('/:id', checkAnyPermission('executions:delete'), executionController.deleteExecutions)
Impact: Privilege escalation. A low-privileged user with any valid API key can modify execution state, data, and metadata of any execution in their workspace. Could be used to manipulate workflow execution results or inject data.
Reproduction:
curl -X PUT https://TARGET/api/v1/executions/EXECUTION_ID \
-H "Authorization: Bearer LOW_PRIV_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"state": "FINISHED", "data": "MANIPULATED"}'

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 GHSA-fm2f-4339-4p2f 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 GHSA-fm2f-4339-4p2f can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-fm2f-4339-4p2f. 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-fm2f-4339-4p2f in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-fm2f-4339-4p2f across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
