Summary

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the unprotected registration endpoint (/register) to create a new user and bypass authentication.

Details

Critical vulnerability in Flowise 3.0.1 on-premise deployment allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit the /api/v1/account/register endpoint to add a new user and log in using it, enabling authentication bypass.
Meaning that the register functionality is by default open, allowing attackers to create an account and use the api without any restrictions or credentials.

PoC

A Flowise 3.0.1 instance was deployed via Docker for the purpose of this demonstration. 1 Docker
After successful deployment the instance setup organization page allows us to register the first account in the system. 1 newly deployed instance

Login to the account 2 Login
The background request that created the first user to /api/v1/account/register 3 request
Response 3 1 response
We have found that it is possible to reuse the registration request multiple times without any restrictions to create an account and authenticate to the system using it.
