CVE-2026-71962
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Flowise versions 2.2.4 through 3.1.4 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in the POST /api/v1/openai-assistants-file/download endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to access private files by exploiting the endpoint's inclusion in the global authentication whitelist, which bypasses all session and API key verification. Attackers can supply valid chatflowId, chatId, and fileName identifiers to retrieve files from any chatflow on the instance, including private chatflows belonging to other workspaces or organizations.

"value": "Las versiones de Flowise 2.2.4 a 3.1.4 contienen una vulnerabilidad de autorización faltante en el endpoint POST /api/v1/openai-assistants-file/download que permite a atacantes no autenticados acceder a archivos privados al explotar la inclusión del endpoint en la lista blanca de autenticación global, lo que omite toda verificación de sesión y clave API. Los atacantes pueden proporcionar identificadores válidos de chatflowId, chatId y fileName para recuperar archivos de cualquier chatflow en la instancia, incluyendo chatflows privados pertenecientes a otros espacios de trabajo u organizaciones."
