How to Fix CVE-2026-41138

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Flowise dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

flowise fixed: 3.1.0
npm install flowise@3.1.0
flowise-components fixed: 3.1.0
npm install flowise-components@3.1.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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 CVE-2026-41138, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls flowise

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Flowise in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.1.0), 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 Flowise, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

## Description ### Summary “AirtableAgent” is an agent function provided by FlowiseAI that retrieves search results by accessing private datasets from airtable.com. “AirtableAgent” uses Python, along with `Pyodide` and `Pandas`, to get and return results. The user’s input is directly applied to the question parameter within the prompt template and it is reflected to the Python code without any sanitization. **The point is that an attacker can bypass the intended behavior of the LLM and trigger Remote Code Execution through a simple prompt injection.** ### About Airtable The `airtable.ts` function retrieves and processes user datasets stored on Airtable.com through its API. ![pic1](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1pKzk2leZ_w6Zb1rL3Rm0xkQr3ty1jom9) ![pic2](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1pConjaiW2eeWJpcHnx1LTp3_CYn846u8) The usage of Airtable is as shown in the image above. After creating a Chatflow like above, you can ask data-related questions using prompts and receive answers. ![pic3](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1S6cIznhnuEjXJjRHCX32Av6QkgYQza6Q) ### Details ```jsx // packages/components/nodes/agents/AirtableAgent/AirtableAgent.ts let base64String = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(airtableData)).toString('base64') const loggerHandler = new ConsoleCallbackHandler(options.logger) const callbacks = await additionalCallbacks(nodeData, options) const pyodide = await LoadPyodide() // First load the csv file and get the dataframe dictionary of column types // For example using titanic.csv: {'PassengerId': 'int64', 'Survived': 'int64', 'Pclass': 'int64', 'Name': 'object', 'Sex': 'object', 'Age': 'float64', 'SibSp': 'int64', 'Parch': 'int64', 'Ticket': 'object', 'Fare': 'float64', 'Cabin': 'object', 'Embarked': 'object'} let dataframeColDict = '' try { const code = `import pandas as pd import base64 import json base64_string = "${base64String}" decoded_data = base64.b64decode(base64_string) json_data = json.loads(decoded_data) df = pd.DataFrame(json_data) my_dict = df.dtypes.astype(str).to_dict() print(my_dict) json.dumps(my_dict)` dataframeColDict = await pyodide.runPythonAsync(code) } catch (error) { throw new Error(error) } ``` Airtable retrieves results by accessing datasets from airtable.com. When retrieving data, it is fetched as a JSON object encoded in base64. Then, when loading data, it is decoded and converted into an object using Python code. ```jsx // packages/components/nodes/agents/AirtableAgent/AirtableAgent.ts let pythonCode = '' if (dataframeColDict) { const chain = new LLMChain({ llm: model, prompt: PromptTemplate.fromTemplate(systemPrompt), verbose: process.env.DEBUG === 'true' ? true : false }) const inputs = { dict: dataframeColDict, question: input } const res = await chain.call(inputs, [loggerHandler, ...callbacks]) pythonCode = res?.text // Regex to get rid of markdown code blocks syntax pythonCode = pythonCode.replace(/^```[a-z]+\n|\n```$/gm, '') } ``` The `dataframeColDict` and `input` (user input received via prompt) are passed into the LLMChain function. After that, result of LLMChain is stored in the `pythonCode` variable. ```jsx // packages/components/nodes/agents/AirtableAgent/core.ts export const systemPrompt = `You are working with a pandas dataframe in Python. The name of the dataframe is df. The columns and data types of a dataframe are given below as a Python dictionary with keys showing column names and values showing the data types. {dict} I will ask question, and you will output the Python code using pandas dataframe to answer my question. Do not provide any explanations. Do not respond with anything except the output of the code. Question: {question} Output Code:` export const finalSystemPrompt = `You are given the question: {question}. You have an answer to the question: {answer}. Rephrase the answer into a standalone answer. Standalone Answer:` ``` In prompt template used by the chain call, the `dataframeColDict` is mapped to the `{dict}`, and the `input` is mapped to the `{question}`. The purpose of the prompt template (and chain call) is to generate code that extracts data using a Pandas DataFrame and returns only the ‘code’ as a result. However, if a malicious payload containing a prompt injection is provided by an attacker, the value might be returned as-is. ```jsx // packages/components/nodes/agents/AirtableAgent/AirtableAgent.ts let finalResult = '' if (pythonCode) { try { const code = `import pandas as pd\n${pythonCode}` // TODO: get print console output finalResult = await pyodide.runPythonAsync(code) } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Sorry, I'm unable to find answer for question: "${input}" using follwoing code: "${pythonCode}"`) } } ``` The returned malicious Python code (`pythonCode`) will be executed by Pyodide in the next line. ![pic4](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1A2KRikFrizD6aw-a76KCCEUcRp9t5JlL) This image shows the result of sending a malicious payload without prompt injection. As you can see, an error is returned, indicating that the Python code did not execute. ![pic5](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1KYUbJG2Jya1UtLrwSyibTTnksnDSnVKx) ![pic6](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1OEci560q5rVjJydVRIVVnKaexAQ7lEnf) However, by adding below payload, the malicious payload executes successfully, resulting in remote code execution (RCE).
