CVE-2025-8943 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Flowise affecting versions prior to 3.0.1. The issue is exposed through the Custom MCPs functionality and the /api/v1/node-load-method/customMCP API endpoint. Custom MCPs are intended to execute operating system commands, for example by invoking tools such as npx to start local MCP servers. In affected versions, Flowise has minimal authentication and authorization controls, lacks RBAC, and default installations may run without authentication unless explicitly configured. As a result, a remote attacker can submit a crafted JSON payload to the customMCP endpoint and cause Flowise to execute attacker-controlled, unsandboxed OS commands. Publicly referenced example payloads show control over mcpServerConfig.command and mcpServerConfig.args, demonstrating direct command execution on the host.
