CVE-2026-56277
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 3.1.2 sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin to a hardcoded wildcard (*) on its text-to-speech (TTS) generation endpoint (packages/server/src/controllers/text-to-speech/index.ts), independent of the server's configured CORS policy. This bypasses the server's otherwise restrictive default CORS configuration (getCorsOptions()) and allows any webpage to make cross-origin requests that trigger TTS generation using stored credentials, enabling drive-by cross-origin credential abuse.
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 before 3.1.2 contains a CORS misconfiguration where the text-to-speech generation endpoint hardcodes Access-Control-Allow-Origin to '*' (wildcard), bypassing the server's otherwise restrictive default CORS policy. This allows any origin to send authenticated cross-origin requests to the TTS endpoint, enabling drive-by credential abuse where malicious webpages can trigger TTS generation using the victim's stored credentials.

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 versionLocate the Flowise installation and determine the installed version by checking package.json, docker image tag, or the /api/v1/health endpoint responseAffected if The installed version is any release before 3.1.2
-
Verify if TTS feature is enabledCheck if text-to-speech capabilities are configured in the Flowise instance by examining the deployed configurations, environment variables, or available nodes in the Flowise UIAffected if Text-to-speech functionality is enabled and accessible in the environment
-
Inspect CORS headers on the TTS endpointSend an OPTIONS request to the TTS generation endpoint (typically /api/v1/tts or similar path) with an Origin header set to a foreign domain, then examine the Access-Control-Allow-Response headerAffected if The response contains Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (wildcard) instead of respecting the configured CORS policy
-
Compare TTS endpoint CORS policy to other endpointsTest CORS headers on a different authenticated endpoint (such as /api/v1/chat) and compare the Access-Control-Allow-Origin behavior to that of the TTS endpointAffected if Other endpoints enforce restrictive CORS while the TTS endpoint returns a wildcard origin
You are affected if running Flowise version below 3.1.2 with TTS enabled and the TTS endpoint returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * in response headers.

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 · scoped3.1.2
Upgrade to Flowise version 3.1.2 or later, which corrects the TTS endpoint to respect the server's configured CORS policy via getCorsOptions() instead of using a hardcoded wildcard.
3.1.2
- Upgrade Flowise to version 3.1.2 or later to resolve the hardcoded CORS wildcard vulnerability in the text-to-speech endpoint
