Graph-data disclosure via node-type Cypher injection
Published May 12, 2026 · Updated May 12, 2026
Cypher injection in Reconurge Flowsint before 1.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to read all Neo4j graph data through node creation. The add_node route in flowsint-api/app/api/routes/sketches.py interpolates the untrusted data.type value into a backtick-delimited MERGE label and executes the resulting query through neo4j_connection. Any registered user who can update a sketch can escape that label, run arbitrary Cypher, and reconstruct nodes and relationships from every investigation.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
