CVE-2026-42048
CriticalSummary
Langflow, a tool for building and deploying AI agents, is vulnerable to Path Traversal in the Knowledge Bases API (DELETE /api/v1/knowledge_bases) prior to version 1.9.0. An attacker can exploit this flaw to delete arbitrary directories on the server.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability can lead to data loss and service disruption, posing a significant threat to organizations.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 1.9.0 or later to mitigate this security flaw.
Other vulnerabilities in Langflow
See all- CVE-2026-105740Critical
Langflow before 1.9.0 allows any authenticated user to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the server by adding an MCP server with the "Stdio" transport. The user-supplied command field is passed directly to bash -c "exec {command}" with zero validation, no allowlisting, and no sandboxing. The command executes immediately when the server list is fetched. Additionally, the env field allows arbitrary environment variable injection (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, PATH override).
- CVE-2026-105697Critical
Langflow before 1.10.3 launches whatever command / args a user put in an MCP server configuration, with no allowlist and (before 1.10.3) wrapped in bash -c "exec {command} ...". Any user able to reach the MCP server settings or to build a flow with the MCP Tools component could add a "server" whose command is an arbitrary OS command. The command runs on the Langflow host as the Langflow process user as soon as Langflow tries to connect to the server. With the default LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN=true, GET /api/v1/auto_login hands out a token without credentials, so on an exposed instance running the default configuration this is reachable without an account. With AUTO_LOGIN disabled, any authenticated (non-admin) user can exploit it.
- CVE-2026-51886Critical
Code Injection vulnerability in langflow up to 1.9.3. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary Python code on the server by submitting malicious code to the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint, which executes code without sandboxing.
- CVE-2026-55450Critical
Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. Prior to version 1.9.1, unauthenticated users can upload unlimited amounts of data to the server, leading to space exhaustion. Additionally, the server response reveals the absolute path of the uploaded file, which constitutes an information leak.
- CVE-2026-55255HighActively exploited
In Langflow prior to 1.9.1, an IDOR vulnerability in the /api/v1/responses endpoint allows an authenticated attacker to execute any flow belonging to another user by specifying the victim's flow ID in the request.
- CVE-2026-33017CriticalActively exploited
Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. In versions prior to 1.9.0, the POST /api/v1/build_public_tmp/{flow_id}/flow endpoint allowed building public flows without requiring authentication, leading to the possibility of remote code execution by unauthorized users.
- CVE-2026-0770CriticalActively exploited
A vulnerability in Langflow allows remote code execution via the exec_globals parameter in the validate endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious code from an untrusted source.
- CVE-2026-21445Critical
Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. Prior to version 1.7.0.dev45, multiple critical API endpoints in Langflow are missing authentication controls. The issue allows 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. Version 1.7.0.dev45 contains a patch.
- CVE-2025-68478High
Langflow prior to version 1.7.0 allows an arbitrary path to be specified in the request body's fs_path, causing the server to serialize the Flow object into JSON and create or overwrite 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.
- CVE-2025-68477High
Langflow prior to version 1.7.0 provides an API Request component that can issue arbitrary HTTP requests within a flow. The component takes a user-supplied URL, performs only normalization and basic format checks, and sends the request via a server-side httpx client without blocking private IP ranges or cloud metadata endpoints. This enables non-blind SSRF because flow execution endpoints can be invoked with just an API key.
Original NVD description (English source)
Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. Prior to 1.9.0, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.0.
