CVE-2026-56270

CVE-2026-56270 is a medium-severity missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in flowise (npm), affecting versions <= 3.0.13. It is fixed in 3.1.0.

Summary

I have discovered a critical Missing Authentication vulnerability on the /api/v1/loginmethod endpoint. The API allows unauthenticated users (guests) to retrieve the full SSO configuration of any organization by simply providing an organizationId. The response includes sensitive OAuth credentials (Client Secrets) in cleartext.

PoC

The following request can be sent by anyone on the internet without any cookies or authorization headers.

Request

GET /api/v1/loginmethod?organizationId=<any_organization_id> HTTP/2
Host: cloud.flowiseai.com
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

Response: The server returns 200 OK with sensitive credentials:

Affected Deployments

  • FlowiseAI Cloud (cloud.flowiseai.com)
  • Self-hosted FlowiseAI instances where the /api/v1/loginmethod endpoint is exposed

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can harvest sensitive API secrets (Google, Microsoft, GitHub Client Secrets) from any organization on the cloud platform. This leads to complete compromise of the organization's third-party integrations and potential data breaches.

A critical operation is accessible without requiring any authentication. Typical impact: any user can invoke the privileged function.

CVE-2026-56270 has a CVSS score of 5.3 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (3.1.0); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

flowise (<= 3.0.13)

Security releases

flowise → 3.1.0 (npm)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is CVE-2026-56270? CVE-2026-56270 is a medium-severity missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in flowise (npm), affecting versions <= 3.0.13. It is fixed in 3.1.0. A critical operation is accessible without requiring any authentication.
  2. How severe is CVE-2026-56270? CVE-2026-56270 has a CVSS score of 5.3 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
  3. Which versions of flowise are affected by CVE-2026-56270? flowise (npm) versions <= 3.0.13 is affected.
  4. Is there a fix for CVE-2026-56270? Yes. CVE-2026-56270 is fixed in 3.1.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
  5. Is CVE-2026-56270 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-56270 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

  6. What actually determines whether CVE-2026-56270 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
  7. How do I fix CVE-2026-56270? Upgrade flowise to 3.1.0 or later.
