Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated Flowise account with permission to create or modify a chatflow that uses the CSV Agent node, and the ability to set that node's customReadCSV parameter (CVSS PR:L confirms low-privilege authentication is needed; UI:N means no victim interaction is required once the attacker triggers the node). The specific limiting factor is the AC:H obfuscation requirement - the attacker must craft input that evades the static regex blocklist rather than submit plain Python - and access to the CSV Agent node feature itself; instances that do not expose chatflow-editing to untrusted users, or that are network-restricted, materially reduce reachability. The impact hinges on the deployment shipping the unsandboxed pyodide runtime, which the advisory states is the default.

Impact

The signals are mostly consistent and point to a genuine high-severity issue for exposed instances: the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N with high vulnerable- and subsequent-system impact, base 9.0) reflects network reach, low-privilege authentication, no user interaction, and a scope-crossing impact into the host. The one moderating factor is AC:H, which aligns with the description's requirement to craft an obfuscation payload that defeats the regex denylist - meaning exploitation is reliable for a knowledgeable attacker but not trivially point-and-click. Because the CSV Agent node is a normal product feature, a mid-sized operator running Flowise for internal AI tooling should treat any authenticated user (or any compromised low-privilege account) as a potential path to full server compromise, and prioritize the 3.1.3 upgrade regardless of perimeter posture. There is no KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied, and no public POC is referenced, so real-world exploitation should currently be judged as plausible-but-unproven rather than active; the disclosure by VulnCheck plus a published GitHub Security Advisory raises the likelihood that working exploits appear, so patching should not be deferred on the basis of missing EPSS/KEV data alone.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privilege Flowise account (or a phished/compromised builder credential) opens or creates a chatflow, adds or edits a CSV Agent node, and supplies an obfuscated Python payload in customReadCSV that slips past the regex denylist. When the node runs, the code executes in the unsandboxed pyodide environment and gains full access to the underlying host, enabling data theft, lateral movement, or persistence. No public POC is referenced, but the AC:H obfuscation technique is well understood for denylist bypasses.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 13, 2026

Authenticated arbitrary Python code execution in FlowiseAI Flowise before 3.1.3 arises from the CSV Agent node's customReadCSV parameter, whose regex-based validator can be defeated with obfuscation to run attacker-supplied code inside an unsandboxed pyodide runtime with full host access. Any user able to build or edit a chatflow can escalate from application-level access to code execution on the server. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; a vendor patch exists in version 3.1.3.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 3.1.3 - upgrade Flowise to 3.1.3 or later, which is the primary and confirmed fix per GHSA-4878-cqgq-j53v (https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/security/advisories/GHSA-4878-cqgq-j53v) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/flowise-before-code-injection-via-csv-agent-customreadcsv). If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting who can create or edit chatflows - tighten authentication and remove low-privilege build/edit rights so untrusted accounts cannot reach the CSV Agent node (trade-off: limits legitimate self-service workflow authoring), and avoid using or disable the CSV Agent node where feasible. Additionally place the Flowise instance behind network access controls so its UI/API is not internet-reachable and only trusted users can authenticate (trade-off: may impede remote/collaborative use), and monitor the pyodide execution paths and node configuration changes for anomalous Python payloads. Because the underlying control is a regex denylist, do not rely on input filtering as a durable mitigation - the fixed version is the only reliable control.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Flowise is an open-source low-code platform for visually building LLM/agent workflows, where individual 'nodes' expose configurable parameters. The affected CSV Agent node accepts a customReadCSV parameter intended to hold Python parsing logic that executes in a bundled pyodide (WebAssembly CPython) interpreter. The root cause is CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code / code injection): input is gated by a static regex denylist rather than a real sandbox or allowlist, and denylist filtering is inherently bypassable via encoding/obfuscation (e.g., string concatenation, getattr/__import__ tricks, character escapes). Because the pyodide environment is described as unsandboxed with full system access, escaping the language-level filter yields host-level code execution rather than confined interpreter execution. Affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:flowiseai:flowise across all versions prior to the fix.

DescriptionCVE.org

Flowise before 3.1.3 contains a code injection vulnerability in the CSV Agent node's customReadCSV parameter that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary Python code. The validator uses a static regex blocklist that can be bypassed through obfuscation techniques, enabling attackers to execute code in the unsandboxed pyodide environment with full system access.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

FlowiseAI Flowise before version 3.1.3 permits authenticated chatflow editors to execute arbitrary server-side code through the CSV Agent node, converting application-level access into complete infrastructure control. This affects any organization using Flowise for workflow automation and requires immediate patching to prevent insider privilege escalation.
