CVE-2026-56271

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Flowise before 3.1.0 (affected versions 3.0.13 and earlier) uses weak hardcoded default JWT secrets ('auth_token', 'refresh_token') and default audience and issuer values ('AUDIENCE', 'ISSUER') in the enterprise passport authentication middleware (packages/server/src/enterprise/middleware/passport/index.ts). When the corresponding environment variables (JWT_AUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET, JWT_AUDIENCE, JWT_ISSUER) are not set, the application silently falls back to these publicly known defaults, allowing an attacker to forge valid JWTs and impersonate any user, including administrators, resulting in authentication bypass.

Cuando las variables de entorno correspondientes (JWT_AUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET, JWT_AUDIENCE, JWT_ISSUER) no están configuradas, la aplicación recurre silenciosamente a estos valores predeterminados conocidos públicamente, permitiendo a un atacante forjar JWT válidos y suplantar a cualquier usuario, incluidos los administradores, lo que resulta en una omisión de autenticación."
