Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Flowise (npm packages flowise and flowise-components) versions before 3.1.3 contain a sandbox escape in the NodeVM JavaScript sandbox that is reachable through the node-custom-function endpoint. An authenticated user who can reach that endpoint can break out of the sandbox and run arbitrary operating system commands as the Flowise process user, and can read arbitrary files on the host. For versions 3.0.8 to 3.1.2 exploitation requires ALLOW_BUILTIN_DEP set to true; earlier versions are exploitable by default. Upgrade to 3.1.3 or later.
