FlowiseAI/Flosise has File Upload vulnerability
Summary
A file upload vulnerability in FlowiseAI allows authenticated users to upload arbitrary files without proper validation. This enables attackers to persistently store malicious Node.js web shells on the server, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Details
The system fails to validate file extensions, MIME types, or file content during uploads. As a result, malicious scripts such as Node.js-based web shells can be uploaded and stored persistently on the server. These shells expose HTTP endpoints capable of executing arbitrary commands if triggered.
The uploaded shell does not automatically execute, but its presence allows future exploitation via administrator error or chained vulnerabilities.
Taint Flow
-
Taint 01: Route Registration
POSTfile requests are routed to the controller via Multer

Taint 02: Multer Settings
Uploaded files are stored temporarily before further handling
https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/blob/d29db16bfcf9a4be8febc3d19d52263e8c3d0055/packages/server/src/utils/index.ts#L1950-L1954 -
Taint 03: Controller
Receives the file from Multer and delegates to the service

Taint 04: Service Layer
Processes the file and sends results back to controller

Taint 05: createFileAttachment
Extracts metadata, moves file to permanent storage

Taint 06: File Save Path
Creates storage directory and saves file

Taint 07: File Filtering
Filters dangerous characters in file names but does not reject malicious content

Impact
An attacker can persistently upload and store malicious web shells on the server. If executed, this leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The risk increases if administrators unknowingly trigger the shell or if other vulnerabilities are chained to execute the file. This presents a high-severity threat to system integrity and confidentiality.
