CVE-2025-34267
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedFlowise v3.0.1 < 3.0.8 and all versions after with 'ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP' enabled contain an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability and node VM sandbox escape due to insecure use of integrated modules (Puppeteer and Playwright) within the nodevm execution environment. An authenticated attacker able to create or run a tool that leverages Puppeteer/Playwright can specify attacker-controlled browser binary paths and parameters. When the tool executes, the attacker-controlled executable/parameters are run on the host and circumvent the intended nodevm sandbox restrictions, resulting in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the host. This vulnerability was incorrectly assigned as a duplicate CVE-2025-26319 by the developers and should be considered distinct from that identifier.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceFlowise versions 3.0.1 through <3.0.8 with ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP enabled allows authenticated attackers to achieve RCE by specifying attacker-controlled browser binary paths when using Puppeteer/Playwright integrated modules within the nodevm sandbox, bypassing intended sandbox restrictions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Flowise versionRun 'npm list flowise' or check the package.json file in your Flowise installation directory to determine the exact version number.Affected if Version is 3.0.1 through 3.0.7 (versions below 3.0.1 are not affected, 3.0.8 and later contain the fix)
-
Locate Flowise configuration fileFind the Flowise configuration file where runtime environment variables are stored - typically an .env file or config file in the Flowise installation directory.Affected if Configuration file exists and can be inspected for runtime settings
-
Verify ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP settingIn the configuration file, search for the ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP parameter and confirm whether it is set to 'true' or '1' (enabled).Affected if ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP is explicitly enabled (set to true, 1, or yes)
-
Check for Puppeteer or Playwright tool usageReview your Flowise chatflow configurations or tool definitions for any tools that utilize Puppeteer or Playwright integrations - these are the attack vectors for this vulnerability.Affected if Any chatflows or tools are configured to use Puppeteer or Playwright integrated tools
You are affected if your Flowise version is 3.0.1-3.0.7 AND ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP is enabled AND you have Puppeteer/Playwright tools configured in your environment.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.0.8
Upgrade to Flowise v3.0.8 or later which addresses the sandbox escape. If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP and implement strict allow-listing of executable paths for browser automation features.
Flowise 3.0.8
- Upgrade Flowise to version 3.0.8 or later to address the command injection vulnerability
- After upgrading, verify that the ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP configuration setting is properly secured according to your security requirements
- If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP configuration flag as a temporary mitigation to reduce the attack surface
