Flowise: Password Reset Link Sent Over Unsecured HTTP
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.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-x5w6-38gp-mrqh plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,636 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
flowisenpmDescription
Summary: The password reset functionality on cloud.flowiseai.com sends a reset password link over the unsecured HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS. This behavior introduces the risk of a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where an attacker on the same network as the user (e.g., public Wi-Fi) can intercept the reset link and gain unauthorized access to the victim’s account.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Sign up for a new account on https://cloud.flowiseai.com/register.
- Navigate to the https://cloud.flowiseai.com/forgot-password page and enter your email.
- Open your inbox and locate the password reset email.
- Copy the reset link and inspect its protocol – it uses http:// instead of https://.
Impact: If a victim receives this insecure link and uses it over an untrusted network, an attacker can sniff the traffic and capture the reset token. This allows the attacker to hijack the victim's password reset session, potentially compromising their account.
Mitigation: Ensure all sensitive URLs, especially password reset links, are generated and transmitted over secure https:// endpoints only.
Best Practice: Use HTTPS in all password-related email links. Implement HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to enforce secure connections.

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 3.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x5w6-38gp-mrqh 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-x5w6-38gp-mrqh can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-x5w6-38gp-mrqh. 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-x5w6-38gp-mrqh in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-x5w6-38gp-mrqh across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
