CVE-2026-70475 FlowiseAI CVE debrief
CVE-2026-70475 Flowise privilege escalation vulnerability debrief. Flowise, a drag & drop user interface for building customized large language model flows, has a high-severity vulnerability (CVE-2026-70475) that allows authenticated users to escalate privileges and manipulate workflow execution results. This issue arises from the lack of the checkAnyPermission() middleware in the PUT /api/v1/executions/:id endpoint in versions prior to 3.1.3. The vulnerability enables attackers to modify execution state, data, and metadata of any execution in their workspace, potentially leading to unauthorized modifications and exploitation. Users and administrators of Flowise should assess their

Why it matters
CVE-2026-70475 is a high-severity vulnerability in Flowise that allows authenticated users to escalate privileges and manipulate workflow execution results. Defenders should prioritize patching to version 3.1.3 and monitor for unauthorized modifications.
- Potential privilege escalation for authenticated users
- Manipulation of workflow execution results
- Unauthorized modification of execution state, data, and metadata
- Verification of affected versions and scope required
Technical summary
The PUT /api/v1/executions/:id endpoint in Flowise versions prior to 3.1.3 lacks the checkAnyPermission() middleware, allowing any authenticated user to modify execution state, data, and metadata of any execution in their workspace. This vulnerability enables privilege escalation and manipulation of workflow execution results. The issue is fixed in version 3.1.3, which includes the necessary permission checks to prevent unauthorized modifications. Users should review and apply the patch to prevent potential exploitation.
Defensive priority
High priority for Flowise users and administrators
Recommended defensive actions
- Review and apply the patch in version 3.1.3
- Restrict access to the PUT /api/v1/executions/:id endpoint
- Monitor execution state, data, and metadata for unauthorized modifications
- Verify affected versions and scope
- 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 CVE record and NVD entry provide details on the vulnerability. However, the scope of affected versions and potential impact require verification from official sources.
