CVE-2026-56267
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 before 3.0.13 contains an information exposure vulnerability in the POST /api/v1/account/forgot-password endpoint that returns full user objects including PII to unauthenticated attackers. An attacker can enumerate valid email addresses and harvest sensitive user data including user IDs, names, account status, and timestamps by sending requests with known email addresses.
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 confidenceThe forgot-password endpoint in Flowise before version 3.0.13 improperly returns full user objects including PII to unauthenticated attackers. By sending POST requests with known email addresses, attackers can enumerate valid accounts and harvest sensitive data such as user IDs, names, account status, and timestamps.

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 Flowise installation and versionCheck the running Flowise instance version by inspecting the package.json file in the installation directory, or query the Flowise API health endpoint if availableAffected if The installed version is before 3.0.13
-
Confirm forgot-password endpoint exposureLocate the API route configuration or server logs to verify the /forgot-password endpoint is accessible without authenticationAffected if The endpoint is publicly accessible without authentication requirements
-
Check for rate limiting on authentication endpointsInspect the Flowise server configuration or middleware settings for rate-limit rules applied to the forgot-password endpointAffected if No rate limiting is configured on the forgot-password endpoint
-
Verify endpoint response formatSend a POST request to the forgot-password endpoint with a test email address and examine the HTTP response body for user object data (user ID, name, account status, timestamps) rather than a generic messageAffected if The endpoint returns full user object data including PII instead of a generic success/failure message
A user is affected if Flowise version is before 3.0.13 AND the forgot-password endpoint is exposed without rate limiting and returns user object data in responses.

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 · scopedUpgrade to Flowise 3.0.13 or later which addresses the improper information disclosure. As a temporary measure, implement rate limiting and request logging on the forgot-password endpoint to detect enumeration attempts.
Flowise 3.0.13 or later
- 1. Identify the current Flowise installation version by checking the package.json or running the application with --version flag
- 2. If running a version before 3.0.13, plan for upgrade to version 3.0.13 or later
- 3. Backup the current application data and configuration files before upgrading
- 4. For Docker deployments: pull the latest image or specifically pull flowise version 3.0.13
- 5. For npm installations: run 'npm install [email protected]' or 'npm install flowise@latest'
- 6. For docker-compose deployments: update the image tag to '3.0.13' or 'latest' in docker-compose.yml and recreate containers
- 7. After upgrade, verify the /api/v1/account/forgot-password endpoint no longer returns full user objects (it should only return a generic success/failure message)
- 8. Test the forgot-password functionality to ensure it still works correctly for legitimate users
