CVE-2026-12946

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.

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.

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.

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.

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.1 allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands in the server process by saving a flow with a crafted type field value and triggering a build of a wrapper flow that references it. This allows privilege escalation from 'authenticated flow user' to arbitrary OS-level command execution, bypassing the LANGFLOW_ALLOW_CUSTOM_COMPONENTS=false policy.

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper enforcement of security restrictions on the A2A public endpoint.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.9.6 could allow a remote attacker to obtain unauthorized access to user accounts due to improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts.

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 contain an improper input validation vulnerability in the PythonREPL sandbox implementation.

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution via environment variable injection in the MCP stdio launcher. The vulnerability is due to an incomplete blocklist of dangerous environment variables (missing SHELLOPTS, BASHOPTS, and PS4) in src/lfx/src/lfx/base/mcp/util.py.

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 contain hard-coded credentials (passwords or cryptographic keys) used for inbound authentication, outbound communication, or internal data encryption.
