Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-798.

Summary

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.
