Greeter campaign uses unpatched Flowise servers to hide cloud credential theft

See how this story connects

Researchers at Era Security described a campaign they named Greeter that targets unpatched Flowise AI servers through CVE-2024-58351, in versions before 2.1.4. The attack supplies its payload per request through overrideConfig.javascriptFunction, so the saved workflows and chat logs show only repeated “hello” messages while the server returns environment profiles and stolen credentials. Shodan found 4,372 Flowise instances on the public internet, 703 without authentication, and 46 of those running the vulnerable configuration.

Why it matters

Organisations running self-hosted Flowise must patch it themselves, because official support has ended and unpatched instances stay exposed.
