AI-suggested

Organizations should upgrade langflow to version 1.9.0 or later where the vulnerability is fixed by enforcing API key ownership verification before deletion. Until upgrading, restrict access to the delete_api_key_route() endpoint to trusted users only and monitor API key deletion logs for suspicious activity. Implement additional access controls or API gateway policies to validate API key ownership at the application or network layer. Conduct regular audits of API keys and their usage to detect unauthorized deletions. Educate users about the importance of safeguarding API key identifiers to prevent misuse. Consider implementing multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls to reduce the risk of unauthorized authenticated access. Finally, maintain an incident response plan to quickly restore deleted API keys and minimize disruption.

Description

CVE-2026-33053 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in langflow versions prior to 1.9.0. The issue occurs because the delete_api_key_route() endpoint allows deletion of API keys based solely on a generic authentication check without verifying ownership of the API key. This flaw enables an authenticated user with limited privileges to delete API keys belonging to other users. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) and has a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.1 (medium severity). Exploitation requires authentication but no user interaction, and it can lead to denial of service for affected users by removing their API keys. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
