CVE-2026-13445: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in IBM Langflow OSS
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 can allow an authenticated attacker to exploit the SaveToFile component to read and modify another user's uploaded files by specifying absolute paths pointing to victim storage locations. In append mode, the attacker's workflow reads victim file contents, appends attacker-controlled data, and uploads a copy containing victim data to the attacker's namespace (confidentiality breach). In overwrite mode, the attacker can replace victim file contents with arbitrary data (integrity breach). This breaks the storage ownership boundary between users.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13445 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS (versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1) involving the SaveToFile component. Authenticated attackers can exploit this by specifying absolute paths to victim storage locations, enabling them to read and modify files belonging to other users. In append mode, attackers read victim file contents and append attacker-controlled data, uploading a copy to their namespace, resulting in confidentiality compromise. In overwrite mode, attackers can replace victim files with arbitrary data, causing integrity violations. This vulnerability violates storage ownership boundaries and requires authenticated access.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to breach confidentiality by reading other users' files and to breach integrity by modifying or overwriting those files. This compromises data isolation between users and can lead to unauthorized data disclosure and tampering within IBM Langflow OSS environments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to trusted authenticated users only and monitor for suspicious file access patterns related to the SaveToFile component. Avoid using absolute paths in workflows if possible.
