Exploitation Conditions

Requires a reachable Flowise chatflow (version < 3.1.3) that includes the Airtable Agent node and accepts prompts, plus a Python payload obfuscated to bypass the pythonCodeValidator blocklist. The description states the attack is unauthenticated, so an internet-exposed prediction endpoint with no auth is the worst case; however, the official CVSS vector's PR:L implies some privilege may be needed - verify whether your instance enforces authentication. Limiting factors: the target must actually use the Airtable Agent node (not a default component for every deployment), the attacker must craft an obfuscation that defeats the validator (vendor rates this AC:H), and instances behind authentication or network restrictions are substantially harder to reach.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority issue: unauthenticated (per description) network-reachable RCE with full host impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H and subsequent-system SC/SI/SA:H), landing at CVSS 4.0 base 9.0. The vendor vector tempers this with AC:H and PR:L, implying meaningful crafting effort and some privilege - but the description explicitly states unauthenticated exploitation and blocklist bypass, which conflicts with PR:L and, once a working obfuscation is public, undercuts AC:H (the bypass becomes reusable/scriptable). No EPSS score, KEV entry, SSVC decision, or public POC was provided, so probability-of-exploitation signals are absent; the raw impact and the low barrier of a denylist bypass should drive prioritization rather than the missing EPSS. Net: treat as urgent for any internet-exposed Flowise instance, while noting the auth requirement is the single most important item to verify against your deployment.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers an internet-exposed Flowise chatflow that wires in the Airtable Agent node and submits a prompt containing Python obfuscated to evade the pythonCodeValidator blocklist. The reconstructed payload executes in the unsandboxed pyodide runtime, giving the attacker command execution as the Flowise process and a foothold on the host. No public POC is identified at time of analysis, but the technique is described in enough detail to be reproducible by a skilled attacker.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026

Remote code execution in Flowise before 3.1.3 lets attackers run arbitrary Python on the host by abusing the Airtable Agent node. Crafted chatflow prompts carry obfuscated Python that slips past the pythonCodeValidator blocklist and executes inside an unsandboxed pyodide runtime with full access to the underlying OS. Reported by VulnCheck with a published GHSA advisory; no public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Flowise 3.1.3 or later per GHSA-c5hr-rc98-xp3g (https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/security/advisories/GHSA-c5hr-rc98-xp3g). If you cannot upgrade immediately, remove or disable any chatflow that uses the Airtable Agent node, which eliminates the vulnerable code path at the cost of that Airtable integration. As additional compensating controls, restrict network exposure of chatflow prediction endpoints - require Flowise API-key/username-password authentication and place the instance behind a VPN or IP allowlist so unauthenticated prompts cannot reach it - and run the Flowise process as an unprivileged, containerized user with a read-only filesystem and no outbound network egress, which limits blast radius if pyodide is abused but does not fully prevent code execution. Because the flaw is a denylist bypass, do not rely on tightening the blocklist as a fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Flowise is an open-source, low-code visual builder for LLM/agent applications; the affected component is the Airtable Agent node, which lets a chatflow generate and execute Python to query Airtable. Execution occurs in pyodide, a WebAssembly CPython build that Flowise runs without a real sandbox, so generated code inherits the privileges of the Flowise process on the host. The root cause is CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code): pythonCodeValidator relies on a denylist/blocklist of forbidden tokens, and denylist validation is fundamentally bypassable - obfuscation (e.g., string concatenation, encoding, dynamic attribute access such as getattr/__import__ tricks) reconstructs banned calls that the validator never sees literally, defeating the check. CPE cpe:2.3:a:flowiseai:flowise identifies the affected application.

DescriptionCVE.org

Flowise before 3.1.3 contains a code injection vulnerability in the Airtable Agent node that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary Python code by bypassing the pythonCodeValidator blocklist through obfuscation techniques. Attackers can send crafted prompts to a chatflow using the Airtable Agent node to inject malicious Python code that executes in an unsandboxed pyodide environment with full access to the host operating system.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Flowise, a low-code workflow automation platform, contains a critical remote code execution vulnerability in versions before 3.1.3 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the host system through crafted chatflow prompts. Any organization running Flowise faces immediate risk of full system compromise, with attackers able to exfiltrate data, modify workflows, disrupt operations, or pivot to connected systems.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Disable the Airtable Agent node in all Flowise instances as an interim mitigation. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on chatflow prompts; restrict runtime access to sensitive environment variables and file system paths; isolate Flowise instances on dedicated network segments with egress filtering; and consider running Flowise in containerized environments with minimal host OS access. Enable application-level logging to detect anomalous prompt submissions.
