Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Flowise contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the unprotected /api/v1/account/register endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to create user accounts. Remote attackers can exploit this endpoint to register arbitrary accounts and authenticate to the system, gaining full API access without credentials.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Flowise on-premise (npm package 'flowise', version 3.0.1 and earlier) lets unauthenticated remote attackers POST to the /api/v1/account/register endpoint to self-provision arbitrary user accounts and then log in, obtaining full API access without any prior credentials. The endpoint is open by default and the registration request is reusable, so an attacker can repeatedly create privileged ('type':'pro') accounts. A working proof-of-concept exists (publicly available exploit code exists via the VulnCheck/GHSA advisory), and the CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact.
Technical ContextAI
Flowise is a low-code/drag-and-drop tool for building LLM orchestration flows and AI agents, deployed on-premise (commonly via Docker) with a REST API under /api/v1. The flaw is rooted in CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for a Critical Function): the account-creation route /api/v1/account/register is intended only for first-run organization setup but is left without an authentication or one-time guard, so it remains callable by anyone reachable on the network. Because account registration directly mints authenticatable identities, the missing access control on this single function collapses the entire authentication boundary of the application. The affected component per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:flowise:flowise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (npm/flowise), with vulnerable versions = 3.0.1.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available data - the npm advisory lists 'fixed in: None' - so this is best classed as 'No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis'; monitor GHSA-v5w9-prxf-w882 for a fixed release and upgrade as soon as one is published. As immediate compensating controls: do not expose the Flowise API to untrusted networks - place it behind a VPN or restrict source IPs with a firewall (trade-off: breaks remote access for legitimate distributed users); put a reverse proxy or API gateway in front and explicitly block or require authentication on POST /api/v1/account/register after the initial admin account is created (trade-off: blocks any legitimate self-service registration); and enforce Flowise application-level authentication (FLOWISE_USERNAME/FLOWISE_PASSWORD / app-level auth) plus network ACLs so the management endpoint is not anonymously reachable. Audit existing user accounts for unexpected registrations (e.g., suspicious or 'pro' type accounts) created via this endpoint and revoke them. Refer to the vendor advisory at https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/security/advisories/GHSA-v5w9-prxf-w882 and the VulnCheck advisory for updates.
