Flowise: Code Injection in CSVAgent leads to Authenticated RCE
Summary
The CSVAgent allows providing a custom Pandas CSV read code. Due to lack of sanitization, an attacker can provide the following payload: DataFrame({'foo': ['bar!']});import os;os.system('whoami') that will get interpolated and executed by the server.
Details
The code in question that introduces the issue is in CSVAgent.ts.
customReadCSVFunc is user-controlled and gets interpolated directly without sanitization into the code variable which gets executed by pyodide one line later in: dataframeColDict = await pyodide.runPythonAsync(code).
An authenticated attacker can issue the following chain of requests:
- Create a new chat flow by sending a
POSTrequest to/api/v1/chatflows. This will return thechatflowIdin the response. - Send a
POSTrequest to/api/v1/prediction/[CHATFLOWID]to trigger the execution of the chatflow. NOTE: the chatflow can contain only this node in order for the exploit to work. - Optionally: send a
DELETErequest to/api/v1/chatflowsto cleanup and delete the chat flow.
Since /chatflows is not whitelisted here, this mandates the user to be authenticated. But, if FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PQSSWORD aren't set, it's sufficient to provide the "x-request-from": "internal" header to bypass authentication.
PoC
Here's the PoC code:
const PORT = 3000;
const FLOWISE_HOST_URL = `http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}`;
const PREDICTION_URL = '/api/v1/prediction';
const CHATFLOWS_URL = '/api/v1/chatflows';

Impact
This results in Remote Code Execution (RCE) and can allow an attacker to compromise the underlying server.
