Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-17622 is a path traversal vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.2. This vulnerability arises from improper limitation of pathnames to restricted directories, enabling a remote attacker with authentication privileges to obtain sensitive information. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality impact.
Potential Impact
An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive information stored in restricted directories that should otherwise be inaccessible. There is no impact on integrity or availability reported. The confidentiality breach could lead to exposure of sensitive data within the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the affected versions and monitor for any unusual access patterns by authenticated users.
