CVE-2026-73602: Flowise before 3.1.3 Sandbox Escape to RCE
Flowise before 3.1.3 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability in the vm2 JavaScript sandbox that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by exploiting moment locale validation bypass. Attackers can craft a fake String object with a match function that bypasses path traversal checks to load and execute malicious JavaScript files stored in the document store outside the sandbox.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
An authenticated Flowise user can break out of a JavaScript safety boundary and run code on the server. Successful exploitation could expose or alter sensitive data, disrupt service, and affect connected systems. Flowise installations older than 3.1.3 should be treated as urgent upgrade candidates.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation immediately because successful exploitation provides server-side code execution and potentially broad business impact. First identify externally reachable and multi-user Flowise deployments, upgrade them, and assess vulnerable hosts for compromise. Active exploitation is not confirmed, but the consequence and low privilege requirement justify urgent action.
Technical view
The flaw affects Flowise's vm2 sandbox. A crafted String-like object can bypass moment locale path validation, allowing JavaScript stored outside the sandbox in the document store to be loaded and executed. Exploitation is network-accessible, requires low privileges and additional preparation, and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Likely exposure
Exposure is highest where Flowise versions before 3.1.3 are network-accessible and untrusted or weakly governed users can authenticate. Risk depends on attackers satisfying the additional document-store preparation condition. Internet exposure is not required if a malicious or compromised internal account can reach the application.
Exploitation context
The supplied CVSS 4.0 score is 9.0, with low attack complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, and an additional attack prerequisite. The source bundle does not identify CISA KEV listing or provide evidence of active exploitation. Exploitation in the wild should therefore be treated as unconfirmed.
Researcher notes
CWE-95 applies. The bundle's affected-version array is internally ambiguous, listing "0" and "3.1.3" with a default unaffected status, while the title and description consistently state versions before 3.1.3. Confirm exact version boundaries against the vendor advisory. No exploit maturity or observed campaign information is supplied.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Flowise to version 3.1.3 or later following the vendor advisory.
Until upgraded, restrict Flowise access to trusted users and reduce unnecessary network exposure.
Review the vendor patch and guidance for deployment-specific remediation requirements.
Investigate potentially compromised systems before returning vulnerable instances to normal service.
Validation and detection
Inventory every Flowise deployment and record its exact running version.
Confirm all production and development instances run Flowise 3.1.3 or later.
Review authenticated-user activity and document-store contents for unexplained JavaScript files or execution indicators.

CWE-95: Code execution behavior lookup
Code execution and unsafe deserialization weaknesses often justify reviewing execution behavior and process telemetry. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references code or command execution, so execution technique review may help defensive triage. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
The CVE wording references privilege impact, so privilege escalation and authorization behavior review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
The CVE wording references file access or upload behavior, so file telemetry and web shell review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.

Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
