Flowise: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVE-2026-70478 is a critical-severity exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor vulnerability in Flowise from FlowiseAI, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Flowise versions: < 3.1.2. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 50% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of Flowise you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to 3.1.3, the POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId endpoint is included in WHITELIST_URLS and requires no authentication. The endpoint decrypts the stored credential, sends a refresh request to the configured OAuth provider with the client secret and refresh token, and returns the refreshed access_token in the response body. An attacker with a credential ID can use the token to access the victim's connected service and can also exhaust refresh-token quota. This issue is fixed in 3.1.3.

The underlying weakness: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
