Flowise: Hardcoded CORS wildcard on TTS endpoint enables cross-origin credential abuse from any webpage
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

flowisenpmDescription
Summary
The TTS generation endpoint sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * as a hardcoded response header, independent of the server's CORS configuration. This enables any webpage to make cross-origin requests to generate speech using stored credentials.
Root Cause
// packages/server/src/controllers/text-to-speech/index.ts:83
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Cache-Control')
Impact
- Cross-origin credential abuse — any webpage can trigger TTS using stored credentials
- Bypasses the server's CORS policy (
getCorsOptions()) which is otherwise restrictive by default - Combined with Finding 3 (TTS credential abuse), enables drive-by credential abuse via malicious webpages
Suggested Fix
Remove the hardcoded CORS wildcard and let the server's CORS middleware handle the headers:
// Remove these lines:
// res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
// res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Cache-Control')

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 3.1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m837-xvxr-vqwg 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.
