Description

Flowise is a drag-and-drop user interface for building customized large language model (LLM) flows. Prior to 3.1.3, Flowise injects $vars into the code execution sandbox without requiring variables:view, bypassing the permission-protected Variables API. Variables for the active workspace are fetched at packages/components/src/utils.ts and runtime variables are resolved from server environment variables, while the official variables route enforces variables:view. A user or API key that is denied variables:view can call /api/v1/node-custom-function and receive $vars pre-populated with all variables for the workspace, including Variable.name to Variable.value static variables and Variable.name to process.env[Variable.name] runtime variables. This can expose secrets such as database passwords, JWT secrets, SMTP passwords, and cloud keys, depending on the workspace Variables configuration. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.3.
