GHSA-p5w8-m249-4r4v: Flowise: `DELETE /api/v1/chatflows/:id` does not validate resource type, allowing `agentflows:delete` and `chatflows:delete` to delete each other’s flow type
summary:
In Flowise, DELETE /api/v1/chatflows/:id authorizes requests with checkAnyPermission('chatflows:delete,agentflows:delete'). Possession of either permission is sufficient to reach the delete path. The delete logic does not validate the target resource type, allowing a caller with only agentflows:delete to delete a CHATFLOW, and a caller with only chatflows:delete to delete an AGENTFLOW.
details:
The delete route accepts either chatflows:delete or agentflows:delete. The subsequent logic only resolves the target record by id and workspaceId, then deletes by id without checking whether the target resource type matches the granted permission domain.
As a result, there is no binding between permission scope and flow type:
- agentflows:delete can be used to delete CHATFLOW
- chatflows:delete can be used to delete AGENTFLOW
This breaks the intended RBAC separation between Chatflows and Agentflows.
impact:
Users authorized to manage only one flow type can delete the other flow type within the same workspace, resulting in unauthorized deletion and configuration loss.
reproduction steps:
1. Log in as a user who can create API keys.
2. Create a normal CHATFLOW and record its id.
3. Create an API key with only agentflows:delete.
4. Use that API key to send:
curl -i -X DELETE \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <agentflows_delete_only_key>' \
http://localhost:8080/api/v1/chatflows/<chatflow_id>
5. Observe a 200 OK response, for example:
{"raw":[],"affected":1}
6. Read the same id again and observe 404 Not Found.
