GHSA-wp74-f5hh-5f3r: Flowise: Missing authorization on `/api/v1/files` allows low-privileged API keys to list and delete files across workspaces within the same organization

highCVE-2026-69252
summary: In Flowise, the /api/v1/files route is protected only by the feat:files feature gate and does not enforce checkPermission(...) on either GET or DELETE. As a result, any authenticated API key within the organization, even one with unrelated permissions, can list and delete files belonging to other workspaces in the same organization. details: The /files route is mounted with IdentityManager.checkFeatureByPlan('feat:files') only and has no additional permission middleware. In the controller: - getAllFiles uses only req.user.activeOrganizationId and calls getFilesListFromStorage(activeOrganizationId), which recursively lists files under the organization storage root - deleteFile reads activeWorkspaceId, but only uses it for storage quota bookkeeping; the actual deletion is performed using activeOrganizationId + user-controlled path As a result, the API key’s permissions and activeWorkspaceId are not used to restrict file access. In the local test environment,an API key bound to workspace 1592b32a-a11b-4996-80b6-e1c4c2969d88 with only ["tools:view"] was created, then successfully: - called GET /api/v1/files and received 200 OK - listed a test file stored under a different workspace, f92a9a4d-392e-4db2-af82-d14e1d553446 - called DELETE /api/v1/files?path=f92a9a4d-392e-4db2-af82-d14e1d553446/poc-cross-workspace.txt and received 200 OK - confirmed the file was removed by re-querying the file list impact: Any low-privileged API key holder within the same organization can list and delete files from other workspaces without any file-specific permission. This breaks workspace isolation inside the organization and can lead to unauthorized file access and destructive tampering. reproduction steps: 1. Log in as a user who can create API keys, and create a key with only an unrelated permission, for example: curl -i -b tamako.cookie \ -H 'x-request-from: internal' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"keyName":"poc-files-noperm","permissions":["tools:view"]
