Summary

Hide ▲

A critical RCE flaw in Flowise tracked as CVE-2026-40933 lets an attacker take over self-hosted deployments when a logged-in user imports a malicious workflow file. The weakness sits in the Custom MCP tool and its stdio transport, where user-supplied commands can run on the server. Obsidian Security published working PoC code and said the disclosed fix can be bypassed. The managed Flowise Cloud service is not affected, but operators running the open-source platform should disable stdio and use SSE.

    Critical Flowise flaw enables server takeover through malicious workflow imports

    Initial Disclosure

    Obsidian Security disclosed CVE-2026-40933 in Flowise, showing that the Custom MCP tool can launch a user-supplied command as a child process when a logged-in user imports a malicious chatflow or workflow file. The disclosure included working PoC code, said self-hosted Flowise deployments are vulnerable by default while Flowise Cloud is not affected, and recommended disabling the stdio transport in favor of SSE because the input-validation layer can be bypassed.
