AI-suggested

Upgrade Langflow to version 1.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until upgraded, restrict access to the Knowledge Bases API to trusted authenticated users only to reduce risk.

Description

Langflow versions prior to 1.9.0 contain a critical path traversal vulnerability in the Knowledge Bases API DELETE endpoint. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to delete arbitrary directories on the server by supplying crafted knowledge base names that bypass path sanitization. The vulnerability can lead to significant data loss and service disruption. A fix for this issue is included in Langflow version 1.9.0.
