Flowise before 3.1.0 (affected versions 3.0.13 and earlier) uses a weak hardcoded default secret ('flowise') for the express-session middleware when the EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET environment variable is not set (packages/server/src/enterprise/middleware/passport/index.ts). Because this default secret is publicly visible in the source code, an attacker can forge valid signed session cookies to impersonate any user and bypass authentication.

**Detection Method:** Kolega.dev Deep Code Scan | Attribute | Value | |---|---| | Location | packages/server/src/enterprise/middleware/passport/index.ts:55 | | Practical Exploitability | High | | Developer Approver | faizan@kolega.ai | ### Description Express session secret has a weak default value 'flowise' when EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET is not set. ### Affected Code ``` secret: process.env.EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET || 'flowise' ``` ### Evidence The default session secret 'flowise' is publicly visible and weak. Session cookies signed with this secret can be forged by attackers. ### Impact Session hijacking and forgery - attackers can create arbitrary session cookies to impersonate any user, bypassing all authentication mechanisms. ### Recommendation Require EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET to be set with a strong random value. Throw an error on startup if not configured. Use cryptographically strong random strings (minimum 256 bits). ### Notes The Express session secret defaults to the string 'flowise' when EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET is not set (line 55). This secret is used to sign session cookies via express-session middleware. Since 'flowise' is publicly visible in the source code, an attacker can forge valid session cookies to impersonate any user without authentication. The .env.example file has this commented out (# EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET=flowise), implying it's optional, which compounds the risk. Unlike development-only defaults, this code path is active in production if the environment variable is not set. The application should require EXPRESS_SESSION_SECRET to be explicitly configured with a cryptographically strong random value and fail to start otherwise.
