Summary
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 could allow an authenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the server due to improper input validation in the SaveToFileComponent. The application constructs local file paths using attacker-controlled input without sufficient sanitization when handling requests to the /api/v1/run/{flow_id} endpoint. An attacker with low-privileged authenticated access (such as a valid API key or user session) can supply crafted path values, including absolute paths or path traversal sequences, allowing arbitrary file writes to locations writable by the Langflow process. Successful exploitation may lead to unauthorized file creation or modification, potentially resulting in further compromise depending on the deployment environment.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can write or modify files on the server, potentially leading to system integrity compromise and, in extreme cases, remote code execution.
Recommendation
Upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to a patched version and restrict access to the /api/v1/run/{flow_id} endpoint to trusted users only.

See all- CVE-2026-93680Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.12.8 contain an improper authentication flaw that could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.
- CVE-2026-110186Critical
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.12.8 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper control of code generation.
- CVE-2026-107329Critical
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.12.4 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper control of code generation.
- CVE-2026-107328Critical
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.12.4 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper neutralization of code in eval/exec.
- CVE-2026-107327Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.12.4 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to missing authorization.
- CVE-2026-104339Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.12.3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
- CVE-2026-12944Critical
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary Python code with root privileges (UID=0) on the Langflow server by submitting components containing socket or urllib imports. This enables AWS credential theft via IMDSv1 SSRF, arbitrary file exfiltration from the container filesystem, and lateral movement to internal services (PostgreSQL, Redis) within the Docker network. The scanner incorrectly returns "validated": true, providing a false security signal.
- CVE-2026-81204Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to code injection during graph construction.
- CVE-2026-79724Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.
- CVE-2026-85025Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code and access or modify chat sessions through publicly shared MCP project endpoints due to improper enforcement of public-flow security restrictions and session isolation controls.
Original NVD description (English source)
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 Langflow could allow an authenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the server due to improper input validation in the SaveToFileComponent. The application constructs local file paths using attacker‑controlled input without sufficient sanitization when handling requests to the /api/v1/run/{flow_id} endpoint. An attacker with low‑privileged authenticated access (such as a valid API key or user session) can supply crafted path values, including absolute paths or path traversal sequences, allowing arbitrary file writes to locations writable by the Langflow process. Successful exploitation may lead to unauthorized file creation or modification, potentially resulting in further compromise depending on the deployment environment.
