CVE-2026-70477 FlowiseAI CVE debrief
CVE-2026-70477 Flowise Prompt Injection. Flowise, a drag & drop user interface for building customized large language model flows, is vulnerable to a prompt injection attack. This critical vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-70477, allows an attacker to inject a malicious Python script that bypasses the blocklist validator and executes in an unsandboxed Pyodide environment prior to version 3.1.3. The flaw exists within the run method of the CSV_Agents class, where untrusted data is used to construct an LLM prompt, and the resulting pythonCode is validated by validatePythonCodeForDataFrame before execution. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution in the context of

Why it matters
CVE-2026-70477 is a critical vulnerability in Flowise that allows for arbitrary code execution. Defenders should prioritize remediation to prevent potential compromise of the service and underlying system.
- Arbitrary code execution in the context of the service account.
- Potential compromise of the Flowise service and underlying system.
- Bypass of the blocklist validator.
- Execution of malicious Python scripts in an unsandboxed environment.
Technical summary
A prompt injection vulnerability exists in Flowise, a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to version 3.1.3, an attacker can inject a malicious Python script that bypasses the blocklist validator and executes in an unsandboxed Pyodide environment. The vulnerability is due to the use of untrusted data to construct an LLM prompt in the run method of the CSV_Agents class.
Defensive priority
High
Recommended defensive actions
- Review and apply the vendor's patch to upgrade to Flowise version 3.1.3 or later.
- Restrict access to the Flowise service to trusted users and networks.
- Monitor the Flowise service for suspicious activity and implement logging and alerting.
- Verify the integrity of the Flowise environment and configurations.
- Conduct a thorough review of the Flowise service to identify potential exposure.
- Implement compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
Evidence notes
