Vulnerability details
Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to version 3.1.2, a mass assignment vulnerability exists in the variable update endpoint of FlowiseAI. The endpoint allows authenticated users to modify server-controlled…

properties such as workspaceId, createdDate, and updatedDate when updating a variable resource. Due to missing server-side validation and authorization checks, an attacker can manipulate the workspaceId field and reassign variables to arbitrary workspaces. This behavior may break tenant isolation in multi-workspace environments. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.2.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Ensuring access control decisions are made and applied to every request before enforcement directly prevents improper access control by requiring policy-based checks.
Enforcing approved authorizations directly implements access control policies to block unauthorized access.
The access control policy and procedures directly mandate and enforce proper access control mechanisms across the organization.
Device lock enforces restricted access until re-authentication, directly reducing unauthorized use of active sessions.
Supervision and review of access control activities directly detects and remediates improper access configurations or usages.
Explicitly identifying and documenting actions permitted without identification or authentication enforces proper access control boundaries by defining justified exceptions.
By automatically labeling outputs with security attributes, the control supports attribute-based enforcement and reduces exploitability of improper access control weaknesses.
Associating and retaining security attributes with data directly supports enforcement of access control decisions across storage, processing, and transmission.
