Flowise before 3.1.3 validates Custom MCP stdio environment variables against a denylist using a case-sensitive comparison, so on Windows, where environment names are case-insensitive, supplying 'node_options' bypasses the NODE_OPTIONS denylist entry. An authenticated user who can configure a Custom MCP node can thereby inject NODE_OPTIONS --require and execute arbitrary code in the Flowise server context.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in Flowise before 3.1.3 on Windows allows an authenticated user with Custom MCP node configuration access to bypass the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable denylist by supplying the lowercase variant 'node_options', exploiting a case-sensitive string comparison against a case-insensitive OS. The injected NODE_OPTIONS --require directive causes the Flowise server process to load an attacker-controlled module when spawning a Custom MCP stdio child process. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Three specific conditions must all be true simultaneously: (1) Flowise must be running on a Windows operating system, since the bypass depends entirely on Windows treating 'node_options' and 'NODE_OPTIONS' as the same variable while the denylist code treats them as different strings; Linux and macOS deployments are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.3 significantly understates the real-world impact when exploitation conditions are met. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated Flowise user on a Windows-hosted instance navigates to a Custom MCP stdio node configuration and sets an environment variable named 'node_options' (lowercase) with the value '--require /tmp/malicious.js', where the payload file is accessible to the server process. Because the denylist check compares 'node_options' against 'NODE_OPTIONS' with case-sensitive logic, the check passes, and the server spawns the stdio child process with the injected variable - which Windows resolves identically to NODE_OPTIONS - causing Node.js to load and execute the attacker's module within the Flowise server process context. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Flowise 3.1.3. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
