Overview
CVE-2025-59527 is a critical vulnerability discovered in the Flowise application, specifically in the /api/v1/fetch-links endpoint. This Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exposes internal network web services to potential exploitation by attackers. The vulnerability is crucial as it allows potential system compromise or data leakage, impacting organizations using the affected version of the Flowise application.

A new way to communicate
Ameeba Chat is built on encrypted identity, not personal profiles.
Message, call, share files, and coordinate with identities kept separate.
- • Encrypted identity
- • Ameeba Chat authenticates access
- • Aliases and categories
- • End-to-end encrypted chat, calls, and files
- • Secure notes for sensitive information
Private communication, rethought.

Flowise Application | 3.0.5
How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by an attacker sending a malicious request to the /api/v1/fetch-links endpoint of the Flowise application. This request tricks the server into acting as a proxy for the attacker, allowing them to access and explore the link structures of internal network web services.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request:
GET /api/v1/fetch-links?target=http://internal.network.service HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable.flowise.server
In this example, the “http://internal.network.service” would be replaced with the internal network service the attacker wishes to access. The Flowise server, believing the request to be legitimate, acts as a proxy and provides the attacker with the information they need.
Mitigation
It is recommended to apply the vendor patch immediately. Flowise has patched this vulnerability in version 3.0.6. If immediate patching is not possible, organizations should use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and mitigate potential exploits of this vulnerability until the patch can be applied.
