What is CVE-2025-71324?

CVE-2025-71324 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Flowiseai Flowise, published on 25 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Flowise before 3.0.6 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the chatId parameter of the /api/v1/get-upload-file and /api/v1/openai-assistants-file/download endpoints. The chatId value is not validated and is passed to streamStorageFile(), where a fallback file-lookup path constructed without the orgId is evaluated after the storage-directory containment check, allowing path traversal beyond the intended storage directory. Unauthenticated attackers can read sensitive files such as /root/.flowise/database.sqlite, exposing all database content in the default configuration.

Weakness: CWE-73
