IBM Langflow Code Injection Vulnerability
IBM - Langflow · Listed in the CISA KEV since 2026-08-04. This indicates confirmed attacks in production environments.
Required action: Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

Summary
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allow unauthenticated attackers to chain the /api/v1/auto_login endpoint (generates SUPERUSER tokens) with /api/v1/validate/code (executes code via exec()), leading to remote code execution (RCE) on default installations.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can gain full control over the Langflow server by executing arbitrary code, potentially leading to complete application takeover and data access.
Recommendation
Upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to a version above 1.10.0 or apply available security patches that block unauthenticated access to these endpoints.
Other vulnerabilities in IBM Langflow OSS
See all- 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.
- CVE-2026-19295Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-19286Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-19297Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-12946Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code on the system due to improper control of user input code.
- CVE-2026-13435Critical
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 contain an improper input validation vulnerability in the PythonREPL sandbox implementation.
- CVE-2026-12940Critical
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.
Original NVD description (English source)
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to chain /api/v1/auto_login (mints SUPERUSER tokens to any network caller) with /api/v1/validate/code (executes user code via exec()) to achieve full RCE on default Langflow deployments
