OpenAI confirms security breach in TanStack supply chain attack

highnews
security
May 14, 2026

OpenAI confirmed that two employees' devices were breached in the TanStack supply chain attack, where attackers inserted malicious code into popular software packages distributed through npm and PyPI (package repositories for code libraries). The breach resulted in stolen credentials and exposed code-signing certificates (digital signatures that verify software authenticity), but did not compromise customer data, production systems, or deployed software. OpenAI rotated its code-signing certificates and isolated affected systems as a precaution.

Fix: OpenAI isolated affected systems and accounts, revoked sessions, rotated credentials across affected repositories, temporarily restricted deployment workflows, and rotated code-signing certificates for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android products. macOS users must update their OpenAI desktop applications before June 12, 2026, as older certificate-signed applications may not launch or receive updates due to Apple's notarization process. Windows and iOS users do not need to take action.

May 14, 2026

Elon Musk was absent from closing arguments in his lawsuit against OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman while traveling to China with President Trump, prompting an apology from his lawyer to the jury. Musk's lawsuit alleges that Altman and Brockman violated a promise to keep OpenAI as a nonprofit organization and unfairly enriched themselves by restructuring it into a for-profit company. The judge had previously placed Musk on 'recall status,' meaning he was supposed to be available to return to court on short notice if needed.

GHSA-rcgg-9c38-7xpx: OpenTelemetry Java SDK has Unbounded Memory Allocation in W3C Baggage Propagation

mediumvulnerability
security
May 14, 2026
CVE-2026-45292

OpenTelemetry Java's baggage propagation (the mechanism for passing request context data across services) didn't enforce size limits, causing unbounded memory allocation (unlimited memory usage) and CPU consumption when parsing oversized baggage headers. This problem can spread to downstream services that never received the original malicious request because baggage is automatically re-injected into every outgoing request.

CVE-2026-44885

Portainer's backup restore feature has a path traversal vulnerability (a flaw that lets attackers access files outside intended directories) in how it extracts `.tar.gz` archive files. An attacker with administrator access could craft a malicious archive that writes files to arbitrary locations on the server, potentially compromising the system.

GHSA-wxrr-jp8m-qq7f: FlowiseAI: Evaluator create+update mass-assignment allows cross-workspace evaluator takeover

highvulnerability
security
May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI's Evaluator feature has a mass-assignment vulnerability (a bug where client-controlled data is copied directly into server objects without filtering) that allows authenticated users to change an evaluator's `workspaceId` field, moving it to another workspace they don't own. This breaks workspace isolation (the separation that keeps different teams' data apart) and lets attackers in workspace B read, modify, and use evaluators belonging to workspace A.

GHSA-mq53-pc65-wjc4: FlowiseAI: Evaluation create+update mass-assignment allows cross-workspace evaluation takeover

security
May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI has a mass assignment vulnerability (a bug where client input is copied directly into objects without filtering) in its Evaluation feature that allows authenticated users to move evaluations between workspaces by including a `workspaceId` field in their request. This breaks workspace isolation (the separation that keeps data from different teams or organizations separate) and allows attackers to access or modify other workspaces' evaluation data, including sensitive information like model outputs and prompts.

GHSA-7j65-65cr-6644: FlowiseAI: DatasetRow create+update mass-assignment allows cross-workspace row takeover

highvulnerability
security
May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI has a mass assignment vulnerability (a code pattern where user input is directly copied into a database object without filtering) in its DatasetRow feature that allows authenticated attackers to change which workspace owns a data row by including a `workspaceId` field in their request, giving them access to other teams' data. This breaks workspace isolation (the security boundary that keeps different teams' data separate) and lets attackers move training records between workspaces they shouldn't have access to.

GHSA-5h9v-837x-m97r: FlowiseAI: Dataset create+update mass-assignment allows cross-workspace dataset takeover

security
May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI has a mass assignment vulnerability (a flaw where client input is copied directly into database objects without filtering) in its Dataset feature that lets authenticated users move datasets between workspaces by including a fake `workspaceId` field in their request. This breaks workspace isolation (the boundary that keeps each workspace's data separate) and allows attackers to steal or modify datasets belonging to other workspaces.

GHSA-728h-4mwj-f2p4: FlowiseAI: CustomTemplate create+update mass-assignment allows cross-workspace template takeover

highvulnerability
security
May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI has a mass assignment vulnerability (a security flaw where an attacker can modify database fields they shouldn't be able to) in its CustomTemplate feature that allows authenticated users to move templates between workspaces by including a `workspaceId` field in their request. This breaks workspace isolation (the separation that prevents users from accessing data outside their assigned workspace), allowing an attacker to take over templates from other workspaces, since the code uses `Object.assign()` to copy user input directly into database records without filtering which fields are allowed.

GHSA-78pr-c5x5-jggc: FlowiseAI: Assistant create+update mass-assignment allows cross-workspace assistant takeover

May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI has a mass-assignment vulnerability (a bug where user input is copied directly into database objects without filtering) in its Assistant service that allows authenticated attackers to change the `workspaceId` field of an assistant they own, moving it to another workspace and gaining unauthorized access. This breaks workspace isolation (the security boundary that keeps data from different organizations separate) and exposes sensitive information like LLM configuration and credentials to unintended users.

GHSA-hmg2-jjjx-jcp2: FlowiseAI: Vector Store No Permission Checks

highvulnerability
security
May 14, 2026

FlowiseAI's OpenAI Assistants Vector Store endpoints lack permission checks, allowing any authenticated user to create, modify, delete, or upload files to vector stores regardless of their assigned role. This missing authorization (CWE-306, a security weakness where critical functions don't verify user permissions) has a severity score of about 8.1, meaning attackers with basic access could steal or destroy data.

GHSA-6h4j-wcr9-2vg7: n8n Has a Cross-user Authorization Bypass in Dynamic Credential OAuth Endpoints

CVE-2026-45732

n8n, a workflow automation tool, had a security flaw where OAuth credential reconnect endpoints checked for read-only access instead of update access. This meant an authenticated user with limited permissions could hijack shared credentials by reconnecting them to their own external account, allowing them to intercept data or take over workflows that other users depend on.

Fix: Update to version 1.62.0 or later. The fix enforces limits consistent with the W3C Baggage specification: maximum total baggage size of 8,192 bytes and maximum 64 entries. Headers exceeding either limit are dropped at the point the limit is reached, while already-extracted valid entries are retained.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: OpenAI said it is rotating digital certificates (security credentials used to verify software authenticity) as a precaution, which will require macOS users to update the app.

TechCrunch (Security)

Fix: Upgrade to Portainer 2.39.0 or later, or for the 2.33.x LTS branch, upgrade to 2.33.8. The fix replaces the unsafe `filepath.Clean(filepath.Join())` path construction with `filesystem.JoinPaths`, which prevents directory traversal. As a temporary workaround if you cannot upgrade immediately: only restore archives from trusted sources and use Portainer's optional backup encryption feature, which requires the correct passphrase to decrypt before extraction.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: The fix is already applied in PR https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/pull/6050. The patched code uses an allowlist pattern: instead of copying all fields from the request body via `Object.assign(...)`, the code explicitly checks each allowed field one at a time before copying it (e.g., `if (body.allowed_field_1 !== undefined) updatedEvaluator.allowed_field_1 = body.allowed_field_1`). This ensures only safe fields can be set, and `workspaceId` is no longer accepted from the client.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: The source text states the vulnerability was "already fixed in PR https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/pull/6050 (allowlist pattern applied)." The fix implements an allowlist pattern (explicitly specifying which fields from the request body are permitted to be copied onto the entity) rather than blindly accepting all fields via `Object.assign()`. This same pattern was previously applied to the DocumentStore entity in commit 840d2ae.

Fix: The source text states the vulnerability is "Already fixed in PR https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/pull/6051 (allowlist pattern applied)." The fix implements an allowlist pattern that explicitly specifies which fields from the user's request are permitted to be copied into the DatasetRow object, preventing malicious fields like `workspaceId` from being accepted.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: The vulnerability is already fixed in PR https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/pull/6051, which applies an allowlist pattern (explicitly listing which fields are allowed to be copied from client input) to the Dataset controller, matching the approach used in commit 840d2ae for the DocumentStore entity.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: The fix uses an allowlist pattern (explicitly allowing only certain safe fields to be copied from user input) and has already been applied in PR https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/pull/6129. The vulnerable code at line 211 of `packages/server/src/services/marketplaces/index.ts` that used `Object.assign(newTemplate, body)` was replaced with code that only copies approved fields, matching the same fix pattern that was previously applied to the DocumentStore entity in commit 840d2ae.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: The vulnerability is already fixed in PR https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/pull/6128, which applies an allowlist pattern (explicitly specifying which fields are allowed to be copied from user input) to the Assistant service, matching the fix previously applied to the DocumentStore entity in commit 840d2ae.

Fix: Upgrade to n8n version 1.123.43, 2.20.7, or 2.21.1 or later. If upgrading immediately is not possible, administrators should restrict credential sharing to fully trusted users only and audit shared credentials for unexpected OAuth token changes, revoking any tokens that may have been replaced. The source notes these workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: The issue has been fixed in n8n version 1.123.43, 2.20.7, and 2.21.1. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should: disable the Source Control feature if not actively required, restrict write access to the connected git repository to fully trusted users only, or avoid pulling from repositories that may have been modified by untrusted parties. The source notes these workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

GitHub Advisory Database

Fix: Upgrade to n8n version 1.123.43, 2.20.7, or 2.22.1 or later. If immediate upgrading is not possible, administrators can temporarily limit workflow creation and editing permissions to trusted users only, or disable the XML node by adding `n8n-nodes-base.xml` to the `NODES_EXCLUDE` environment variable (a setting that controls which tools are available). These workarounds do not fully fix the risk and should only be used as short-term measures.
