CVE-2026-69259 FlowiseAI CVE debrief

Who should care

Administrators and users of Flowise, especially those using the published Docker image, should assess exposure and take steps to mitigate the vulnerability. This includes upgrading to version 3.1.3 or later and restricting access to the Flowise interface to trusted users. Additionally, users should review compensating controls for exposed systems and monitor Flowise logs for suspicious activity while remediation is scheduled and verified.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-69259 is a critical vulnerability in Flowise that could allow an authenticated attacker to write a SQLite database to arbitrary paths, potentially leading to code execution. Defenders should prioritize upgrading to version 3.1.3 or later and restricting access to the Flowise interface.

• Potential code execution through exploitation of the vulnerability
• Arbitrary file writes through manipulation of the SQLite database path
• Elevation of privileges through exploitation of the vulnerability
• Data tampering through manipulation of the SQLite database

Technical summary

The SQLite Record Manager node in Flowise accepted user-controlled additional configuration, allowing an authenticated attacker to overwrite the SQLite database path and potentially write a SQLite database to arbitrary paths. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.3. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to write a SQLite database to paths such as /etc/chromium/exploit.conf; by controlling the table name and namespace value, the attacker could place shell syntax into the database file and trigger execution when Puppeteer launched Chromium and sourced /etc/chromium/*.conf.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Upgrade Flowise to version 3.1.3 or later
• Restrict access to the Flowise interface to trusted users
• Monitor Flowise logs for suspicious activity
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up

Evidence notes

The vulnerability is caused by the SQLite Record Manager node in Flowise accepting user-controlled additional configuration, which can be used to overwrite the SQLite database path. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.3.
