Authentication bypass via case-mismatched API paths
Published Apr 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Authentication bypass in Flowise before 1.8.1 allows remote attackers to access protected APIs through case-altered request paths. The server checks for the lowercase /api/v1/ string before applying authentication, while case-insensitive routing still resolves /API/V1/ to protected handlers. The flaw matters when application authentication is enabled and exposes administrative operations, including credential reads, to unauthenticated network clients.
