Summary

CVE-2024-31621 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Flowiseai Flowise. Its CVSS base score is 7.6 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 0.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-31621 is a code injection vulnerability, tracked as CWE-94, that affects FlowiseAI Flowise versions 1.6.2 and earlier. The flaw resides in the api/v1 component and permits an attacker to supply a crafted script that results in arbitrary code execution on the server.

An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges can exploit the issue over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the ability to execute attacker-controlled code, producing high integrity impact along with limited effects on confidentiality and availability.

Public references point to the vendor site at flowiseai.com and a detailed proof-of-concept on Exploit-DB (exploit 52001), though no specific patch or mitigation guidance is included in the available references. The CVE carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6.

The associated EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.8251 with a current value of 0.7783, indicating sustained and elevated exploitation interest following disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
