The Custom MCPs feature is designed to execute OS commands, for instance, using tools like npx to spin up local MCP Servers. However, Flowise's inherent authentication and authorization model is minimal and lacks role-based access controls (RBAC). Furthermore, in Flowise versions before 3.0.1 the default installation operates without authentication unless explicitly configured. This combination allows unauthenticated network attackers to execute unsandboxed OS commands.
CVE-2025-8943
Score elevated to 9.8 because EPSS predicts 88% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.5% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 9.8 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 72%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
