Description
CVE-2026-5027 is a high-severity vulnerability in langflow-ai's langflow product. The issue occurs in the 'POST /api/v2/files' endpoint, where the 'filename' parameter is not properly sanitized. This allows attackers with limited privileges to perform path traversal attacks and write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem.
