Langflow is vulnerable to Path Traversal in the Knowledge Bases API (DELETE /api/v1/knowledge_bases). This occurs because user-supplied knowledge base names are concatenated directly into file paths without proper sanitization or boundary validation. An authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to delete arbitrary directories anywhere on the server's filesystem, leading to data loss and potential service disruption.
A security vulnerability has been detected in langflow-ai langflow up to 1.8.3. The affected element is the function create_project/encrypt_auth_settings of the file src/backend/base/Langflow/api/v1/projects.py of the component Project Creation Endpoint. Such manipulation of the argument auth_settings leads to cleartext storage in a file or on disk. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but …

Vulnerability IDOR in GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/flow/{flow_id} The _read_flow helper in src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/flows.py branched on the AUTO_LOGIN setting to decide whether to filter by user_id. When AUTO_LOGIN was False (i.e., authentication was enabled), neither branch enforced an ownership check — the query returned any flow matching the given UUID regardless of who owned it. This exposed any authenticated user to: Read any other user's flow, including embedded plaintext API keys Modify the logic …
The Agentic Assistant feature in Langflow executes LLM-generated Python code during its validation phase. Although this phase appears intended to validate generated component code, the implementation reaches dynamic execution sinks and instantiates the generated class server-side. In deployments where an attacker can access the Agentic Assistant feature and influence the model output, this can result in arbitrary server-side Python execution.
Vulnerability Path Traversal in GET /api/v1/files/profile_pictures/{folder_name}/{file_name} The download_profile_picture function in src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/files.py constructed file paths by directly concatenating the user-supplied folder_name and file_name path parameters without sanitization or boundary validation. The resulting path was passed to the filesystem without verifying it remained within the intended directory. An unauthenticated attacker could supply traversal sequences (e.g. ../secret_key) to navigate outside the profile pictures directory and read arbitrary files on the server filesystem. This …
The /api/v1/files/images/{flow_id}/{file_name} endpoint serves image files without any authentication or ownership check. Any unauthenticated request with a known flow_id and file_name returns the image with HTTP 200.
While reviewing the recent patch for CVE-2025-68478 (External Control of File Name in v1.7.1), I discovered that the root architectural issue within LocalStorageService remains unresolved. Because the underlying storage layer lacks boundary containment checks, the system relies entirely on the HTTP-layer ValidatedFileName dependency. This defense-in-depth failure leaves the POST /api/v2/files/ endpoint vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write. The multipart upload filename bypasses the path-parameter guard, allowing authenticated attackers to write files …

The POST /api/v1/build_public_tmp/{flow_id}/flow endpoint allows building public flows without requiring authentication. When the optional data parameter is supplied, the endpoint uses attacker-controlled flow data (containing arbitrary Python code in node definitions) instead of the stored flow data from the database. This code is passed to exec() with zero sandboxing, resulting in unauthenticated remote code execution. This is distinct from CVE-2025-3248, which fixed /api/v1/validate/code by adding authentication. The build_public_tmp endpoint is …
The CSV Agent node in Langflow hardcodes allow_dangerous_code=True, which automatically exposes LangChain’s Python REPL tool (python_repl_ast). As a result, an attacker can execute arbitrary Python and OS commands on the server via prompt injection, leading to full Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Langflow exec_globals Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Langflow. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the exec_globals parameter provided to the validate endpoint. The issue results from the inclusion of a resource from an untrusted control sphere. An attacker can leverage this …
Multiple critical API endpoints in Langflow are missing authentication controls, allowing any unauthenticated user to access sensitive user conversation data, transaction histories, and perform destructive operations including message deletion. This affects endpoints handling personal data and system operations that should require proper authorization.
Vulnerability Overview Langflow provides an API Request component that can issue arbitrary HTTP requests within a flow. This component takes a user-supplied URL, performs only normalization and basic format checks, and then sends the request using a server-side httpx client. It does not block private IP ranges (127.0.0.1, the 10/172/192 ranges) or cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), and it returns the response body as the result. Because the flow execution endpoints …
Vulnerability Overview If an arbitrary path is specified in the request body's fs_path, the server serializes the Flow object into JSON and creates/overwrites a file at that path. There is no path restriction, normalization, or allowed directory enforcement, so absolute paths (e.g., /etc/poc.txt) are interpreted as is. Vulnerable Code It receives the request body (flow), updates the DB, and then passes it to the file-writing sink.
Langflow versions up to and including 1.6.9 contain a chained vulnerability that enables account takeover and remote code execution. An overly permissive CORS configuration (allow_origins='*' with allow_credentials=True) combined with a refresh token cookie configured as SameSite=None allows a malicious webpage to perform cross-origin requests that include credentials and successfully call the refresh endpoint. An attacker-controlled origin can therefore obtain fresh access_token / refresh_token pairs for a victim session. Obtained tokens …
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Langflow containers where an authenticated user with RCE access can invoke the internal CLI command langflow superuser to create a new administrative user. This results in full superuser access, even if the user initially registered through the UI as a regular (non-admin) account.
Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0 are susceptible to code injection in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to execute arbitrary code.
Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-rvqx-wpfh-mfx7. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0 are susceptible to code injection in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to execute arbitrary code.
langflow <=1.0.18 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) as any component provided the code functionality and the components run on the local machine rather than in a sandbox.
langflow v1.0.12 was discovered to contain a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability via the PythonCodeTool component.
A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Langflow up to 1.0.18. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file \src\backend\base\langflow\interface\utils.py of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument remaining_text leads to inefficient regular expression complexity. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Langflow allows remote code execution if untrusted users are able to reach the "POST /api/v1/custom_component" endpoint and provide a Python script.
