## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-8vvx-qvq9-5948. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description

Flowise contains a path traversal vulnerability in the /api/v1/document-store/loader/process endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files to the filesystem. Attackers can exploit unsanitized fileName parameters with ../ sequences to overwrite critical files like package.json and achieve remote code execution when the application restarts.

## Affected packages

- `flowise <= 2.2.7`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
