Summary
Flowise: Unauthenticated OAuth2 token refresh endpoint returns access tokens — enables token theft for any connected service
Details

Summary

The OAuth2 token refresh endpoint (POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId) is in WHITELIST_URLS, meaning it requires no authentication. It decrypts the stored credential (containing clientId, clientSecret, refresh_token), sends a refresh request to the configured OAuth provider, and returns the new access_token directly in the response body.

Root Cause

// packages/server/src/routes/oauth2/index.ts:393-402
res.json({
    success: true,
    message: 'OAuth2 token refreshed successfully',
    credentialId: credential.id,
    tokenInfo: {
        ...tokenData,  // ← includes access_token!
        has_new_refresh_token: !!tokenData.refresh_token,
        expires_at: updatedCredentialData.expires_at
    }
})

Whitelist entry at packages/server/src/utils/constants.ts:40.

Attack Chain

  1. Attacker obtains a credential ID (via Finding 2 / public chatflow leak, or enumeration)
  2. Attacker calls POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId (no auth required)
  3. Server decrypts credential, sends refresh request to OAuth provider with user's client_secret
  4. Server returns the new access_token in the response to the attacker
  5. Attacker uses the token to access the victim's connected service (Google, Microsoft, etc.)

Docker Validation

POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/fake-uuid returns {"message":"Credential not found"} (not 401 Unauthorized), proving the endpoint processes the request without authentication.

Impact

  • OAuth2 access token theft for any connected service
  • Full access to the victim's third-party accounts (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, etc.)
  • Client secret transmitted to OAuth provider during refresh
  • Can also be used for DoS by exhausting refresh token quota

Suggested Fix

Remove the refresh endpoint from WHITELIST_URLS and require authentication:

// Remove from WHITELIST_URLS in constants.ts
// Add authentication check in the route handler
