Flowise Sandbox Escape to RCE

CVE-2026-69253GHSA-wg86-r78f-74mp

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (flowise-components 3.1.3; flowise 3.1.3), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

============================================================================= Security Advisory elttam Topic: Flowise JavaScript Sandbox Escape Module: FlowiseAI/Flowise, FlowiseAI/nodevm Disclosed: 11-Apr-2026 Credits: Luke Jahnke and Alex Brown Affects: FlowiseAI/Flowise 3.1.1, FlowiseAI/nodevm 3.9.25 I. Background Flowise AI is an open-source, low-code platform for building AI applications—such as chatbots, workflows, and autonomous agents—through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, minimising the need for extensive coding. The platform also enables execution of custom JavaScript within a sandboxed environment via the Custom Function Agent Flow node or Custom Tool. By default, this sandbox is powered by patriksimek/vm2, a fork of the patriksimek/vm2 package. II. Problem Description NOTE: This vulnerability still impacts commit dddfb3c90eec900d747790a439bd362a764039cd (the latest commit on the main branch at the time of writing). The original report was incorrectly closed, due to…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-69253

Advisory: Flowise Sandbox Escape to RCE
IDs: CVE-2026-69253, GHSA-wg86-r78f-74mp
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-69253 (revision 4, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:00 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.0)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: flowise-components 3.1.3; flowise 3.1.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm flowise-components: affected <= 3.1.2; fixed in 3.1.3
- npm flowise: affected <= 3.1.2; fixed in 3.1.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls flowise-components --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.
- `npm ls flowise --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on flowise-components, flowise.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-wg86-r78f-74mp (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-wg86-r78f-74mp lists affected ranges: npm flowise >=0 =0 <=3.1.2)
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-wg86-r78f-74mp (OSV record GHSA-wg86-r78f-74mp lists affected ranges: npm flowise >=0 =0 <3.1.3 (fixed))

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
