### Summary The ReadFileTool in Flowise does not restrict file path access, allowing authenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the file system, potentially leading to remote command execution. ### Details Flowise supports providing ReadFileTool for large models to read files in the server's file system. The implementation of this tool is located at packages/components/nodes/tools/ReadFile/ReadFile.ts. ``` /** * Class for reading files from the disk. Extends the StructuredTool * class. */ export class ReadFileTool extends StructuredTool { static lc_name() { return 'ReadFileTool' } schema = z.object({ file_path: z.string().describe('name of file') }) as any name = 'read_file' description = 'Read file from disk' store: BaseFileStore constructor({ store }: ReadFileParams) { super(...arguments) this.store = store } async _call({ file_path }: z.infer<typeof this.sche...

### Summary The WriteFileTool in Flowise does not restrict the file path for reading, allowing authenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability to write arbitrary files to any path in the file system, potentially leading to remote command execution. ### Details Flowise supports providing WriteFileTool for large models, which is used to write files to the server's file system. The implementation of this tool is located at packages/components/nodes/tools/WriteFile/WriteFile.ts. ``` /** * Class for writing data to files on the disk. Extends the StructuredTool * class. */ export class WriteFileTool extends StructuredTool { static lc_name() { return 'WriteFileTool' } schema = z.object({ file_path: z.string().describe('name of file'), text: z.string().describe('text to write to file') }) as any name = 'write_file' description = 'Write file from disk' store: BaseFileStore constructor({ store, ...rest }: WriteFileParams) ...

The HTMLSectionSplitter class in langchain-text-splitters is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks due to unsafe XSLT parsing. This vulnerability arises because the class allows the use of arbitrary XSLT stylesheets, which are parsed using lxml.etree.parse() and lxml.etree.XSLT() without any hardening measures. In lxml versions up to 4.9.x, external entities are resolved by default, allowing attackers to read arbitrary local files or perform outbound HTTP(S) fetches. In lxml versions 5.0 and above, while entity expansion is disabled, the XSLT document() function can still read any URI unless XSLTAccessControl is applied. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to gain read-only access to any file the LangChain process can reach, including sensitive files such as SSH keys, environment files, source code, or cloud metadata. No authentication, special privileges, or user interaction are required, and the issue is exploitable in default deployments that enable custom XSLT.

Passwork is positioned as an on-premises unified platform for both password and secrets management, aiming to address the increasing complexity of credential storage and sharing in modern organizations.
