GHSA-qgvm-j2hm-6m38: Flowise: Unauthenticated OAuth2 token refresh endpoint returns access tokens — enables token theft for any connected service

criticalCVE-2026-70478
Summary The OAuth2 token refresh endpoint (POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId) is in WHITELIST_URLS, meaning it requires no authentication. It decrypts the stored credential (containing clientId, clientSecret, refresh_token), sends a refresh request to the configured OAuth provider, and returns the new access_token directly in the response body. Root Cause // packages/server/src/routes/oauth2/index.ts:393-402 res.json({ success: true, message: 'OAuth2 token refreshed successfully', credentialId: credential.id, tokenInfo: { ...tokenData, // ← includes access_token! has_new_refresh_token: !!tokenData.refresh_token, expires_at: updatedCredentialData.expires_at } }) Whitelist entry at packages/server/src/utils/constants.ts:40. Attack Chain 1. Attacker obtains a credential ID (via Finding 2 / public chatflow leak, or enumeration) 2. Attacker calls POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/:credentialId (no auth required) 3. Server decrypts credential, sends refresh request to OAuth provider with user's client_secret 4. Server returns the new access_token in the response to the attacker 5. Attacker uses the token to access the victim's connected service (Google, Microsoft, etc.) Docker Validation POST /api/v1/oauth2-credential/refresh/fake-uuid returns {"message":"Credential not found"} (not 401 Unauthorized), proving the endpoint processes the request without authentication. Impact - OAuth2 access token theft for any connected service - Full access to the victim's third-party accounts (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, etc.) - Client secret transmitted to OAuth provider during refresh - Can also be used for DoS by exhausting refresh token quota Suggested Fix Remove the refresh endpoint from WHITELIST_URLS and require authentication: // Remove from WHITELIST_URLS in constants.ts // Add authentication check in the route handler Credits - Shinobi Security - https://github.com/shinobisecurity
