## What is CVE-2026-70472?

CVE-2026-70472 is a high-severity missing authorization 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 openai-assistants-vector-store endpoints accept a client-controlled credential parameter and load credentials by id without checking whether that credential belongs to the caller workspace. Route permissions assistants:* only check feature access. The controller passes req.query.credential straight to the service, and the service uses findOneBy({ id: credentialId }), decrypts the credential, and calls OpenAI APIs without a workspaceId check. If an attacker knows another workspace credentialId, the attacker can use that workspace OpenAI key, read, modify, or delete victim vector stores and files, cause billing impact on the victim OpenAI account, and violate multi-tenant boundaries. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.3.

Weakness: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), CWE-285 (Improper Authorization)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-70472 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-70472 is a high-severity missing authorization 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-2026-70472 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.
