## What is CVE-2026-69257?

CVE-2026-69257 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Flowiseai Flowise, published on 4 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to 3.1.3, Flowise's HTTP security module httpSecurity.ts did not normalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses such as ::ffff:127.0.0.1 and ::ffff:169.254.169.254 before checking them against the deny list. Because ipaddr.js reports these addresses as ipv6 while IPv4 CIDR deny-list entries are ipv4, isDeniedIP() skipped the IPv4 CIDR checks. An attacker who controls DNS resolution for a hostname used by the HTTP Node, API Chain, Document Loader, MCP tool, or other paths using secureAxiosRequest(), secureFetch(), or checkDenyList() could return a AAAA record for an IPv4-mapped target and cause requests to reach localhost, internal services, or cloud metadata endpoints. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.3.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-1389 (Incorrect Parsing of Numbers with Different Radices)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-69257 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-69257 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Flowiseai Flowise, published on 4 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-69257 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- flowise (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.1.3
- flowise (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.1.3

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
