NVD description

Flowise before 3.1.0 (affected versions 3.0.13 and earlier) uses weak hardcoded default JWT secrets ('auth_token', 'refresh_token') and default audience and issuer values ('AUDIENCE', 'ISSUER') in the enterprise passport authentication middleware (packages/server/src/enterprise/middleware/passport/index.ts). When the corresponding environment variables (JWT_AUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, JWT_REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET, JWT_AUDIENCE, JWT_ISSUER) are not set, the application silently falls back to these publicly known defaults, allowing an attacker to forge valid JWTs and impersonate any user, including administrators, resulting in authentication bypass.

    Patch

    🚨 CRITICAL - Flowise hardcoded JWT defaults allow token forgery auth bypass (CVE-2026-56271) Flowise before 3.1.0 is vulnerable in its enterprise passport authentication middleware due to weak hardcoded default JWT secrets and default audience/issuer values used when environment variables aren’t set. The root cause is insecure defaults and improper authentication configuration handling that silently falls back to publicly known values. An attacker can exploit this remotely by forging valid JWTs that match the default secret/audience/issuer, requiring no prior credentials if the deployment is using the defaults. Impact is full authentication bypass and account impersonation up to admin, enabling complete takeover of the Flowise instance and access to sensitive data and workflows. 👉 Affected: flowise < 3.1.0 | Upgrade to 3.1.0

    Post summary

    Flowise versions before 3.1.0 are vulnerable to authentication bypass via hardcoded JWT defaults; upgrading to 3.1.0 patches the flaw. No proof-of-concept, active exploitation, or debunking is reported.
