IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code on the system, due to the improper control of user input code.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 can allow an attacker to access another user's private vector documents by creating their own flow with matching Chroma persist_directory and collection_name values. The attacker receives exact victim content in their workflow output despite having no authorization to read the victim's flow. Additionally, the attacker can pollute the victim's collection by inserting their own documents into the shared namespace.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot " sequences ( /.. /) to view arbitrary files on the system.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.8.4 contains multiple broken access control vulnerabilities in its file handling API that allow unauthorized access to user files.The /api/v1/files/images/{flow_id}/{file_name} endpoint does not enforce authentication or authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve image files associated with any flow by specifying a valid flow_id and file_name.Additionally, the /api/v1/files/download/{flow_id}/{file_name} endpoint requires authentication but fails to properly validate ownership of the requested resource. As a result, an authenticated user can access files belonging to other users by supplying arbitrary identifiers, leading to an authorization bypass (IDOR).Successful exploitation may result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, including files stored in private flows. This issue breaks tenant isolation in multi-user deployments.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 allows authenticated users to access and manipulate other users' build jobs through improper access control on log retrieval and unauthenticated build endpoints.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1  are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution via environment variable injection in the MCP (Model Context Protocol) stdio launcher. The vulnerability exists in src/lfx/src/lfx/base/mcp/util.py where the DANGEROUS_ENV_VARS blocklist fails to include SHELLOPTS , BASHOPTS , and PS4 environment variables.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 Langflow versions up to 1.9.2 (commit 94981c443d4918517b9e8163d70fc598dc33a32d) contain a code injection vulnerability in the Policies component's ToolGuard integration that bypasses the allow_custom_components=false security control. The vulnerability exists because the validation mechanism only checks the main component source code in node_template["code"]["value"] but fails to validate dynamic CodeInput fields that store generated ToolGuard Python files. Attackers can embed malicious Python code in these unvalidated dynamic fields, which are persisted in Flow.data and later executed server-side when a guarded tool is invoked through the ToolGuard runtime. This allows authenticated users with flow creation privileges to achieve arbitrary Python code execution on the backend despite custom component restrictions. The vulnerability can be escalated through cross-tenant flow manipulation via the agentic MCP update_flow_component_field tool, which accepts attacker-controlled user_id parameters, enabling attackers to inject malicious code into victim users' flows. When combined with publicly accessible flows and specific misconfigurations (AUTO_LOGIN=true, NEW_USER_IS_ACTIVE=true), the attack can be conducted with reduced authentication requirements.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access due to improper authentication in the /api/v1/login/auto_login endpoint. The endpoint issues long-lived superuser bearer tokens without requiring authentication when the AUTO_LOGIN configuration is enabled (enabled by default), which may allow an unauthenticated network attacker to obtain full administrative access. Additionally, permissive cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) settings may allow tokens to be exposed to unintended origins, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 Langflow could allow an attacker to write arbitrary files to unintended locations due to improper input validation in the APIRequest component. A path traversal vulnerability exists when the "Save to File" feature is enabled, where filenames extracted from HTTP response Content-Disposition headers are not sanitized before being joined to the temporary directory path. An attacker controlling an external HTTP server can supply crafted filename values containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../), enabling arbitrary file writes to locations accessible by the Langflow process.

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows authenticated users to escalate privileges to superuser by directly manipulating the database, execute arbitrary system commands, and achieve full system compromise with Langflow service permissions.
