CVE-2026-9205: CWE-338 Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in IBM Langflow OSS
IBM Langflow OSS contains a weak cryptographic key derivation vulnerability in the ensure_fernet_key() function.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS involves weak cryptographic key derivation in the ensure_fernet_key() function, classified under CWE-338. This weakness can lead to compromised confidentiality and integrity of encrypted data. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating a network attack vector with high impact on confidentiality and integrity but requiring high attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction. There is no vendor advisory or patch information provided, and no known active exploitation has been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow attackers to compromise the confidentiality and integrity of data protected by the weakly derived cryptographic keys. However, the attack complexity is high, and no privileges or user interaction are required. There is no indication of impact on availability. No known exploits are currently active in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider limiting exposure of the affected component to untrusted networks and monitor for updates from IBM regarding patches or mitigations.
