GHSA-5w6g-rc45-wvv9: Duplicate Advisory Flowise OverrideConfig Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
CRITICALGHSA-5w6g-rc45-wvv9 is a CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8) flowise overrideconfig security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')) affecting Duplicate Advisory libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves flowise overrideconfig security vulnerability. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 2.1.4.
GHSA-5w6g-rc45-wvv9 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 9.8
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix GHSA-5w6g-rc45-wvv9
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install flowise@2.1.4
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls flowise
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-5w6g-rc45-wvv9, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls flowise
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.1.4), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls flowise command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n### Original Description\nFlowise before 2.1.4 allows configuration to be injected into the Chainflow during execution via the overrideConfig option, supported in both the frontend web integration and the backend Prediction API. Because this feature is enabled by default with no allow-list of permitted variables and relies on vm2 for sandboxing, an attacker can abuse it to achieve remote code execution and sandbox escape, denial of service by crashing the server, server-side request forgery, prompt injection, and server variable and data exfiltration. These issues are self-targeted and do not persist to other users.",
