Flowise chatflows lack credential security, exposing stored secrets

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Flowise's API keys, while controlling access to chatflows, do not adequately protect stored third-party credentials. An attacker who gains access to a flow can potentially access sensitive information or execute unauthorized actions, even if the flow itself is protected by an API key. The system separates trust zones into the caller, the running flow, and the credential store, but the API key only secures the first zone. Robust security requires protecting the credential encryption key, implementing independent controls for public endpoints, and maintaining a detailed inventory of flows and their access. AI

    <h1> Flowise Chatflow API Keys Do Not Boundary the Stored Credentials </h1> <p>A Flowise chatflow can be protected by an API key and still execute nodes that use stored third-party credentials. The key controls who can call the flow, not what secrets the flow can reach. A review …
