Description
Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. Prior to 1.9.1, unauthenticated users can upload any amount of data to the server without any limitations. No need for any prior knowledge, only network access to Langflow. This can lead to space exhaustion on the server. In addition, in the response, the absolute path of the uploaded file is reported to the attacker, which is an information leak that can assist in chaining other primitives. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.1.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from an unauthenticated file upload endpoint that accepts files of unlimited size. An attacker can mine the server's disk with arbitrary data, exhausting storage and causing a denial of service. The response also leaks the full absolute path of the uploaded file, exposing sensitive filesystem information that could be used to facilitate further attacks Authentication (CWE‑306), Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE‑400), and Information Exposure (CWE‑200).

Affected Systems

Langflow (langflow‑ai:langflow) older than version 1.9.1. Any deployment of Langflow 1.8 unauthenticated users over the network is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The score of 9.3 marks this vulnerability as critical. Because no authentication is required and there are no size limits, the attack will succeed from any host able to reach the Langflow instance. The EPSS score is not available, but the clear attack surface suggests a high exploitation probability. The vulnerability has not appeared in the CISA KEV catalog yet, but its severity warrants urgent remediation. The likely attack vector is remote network access to the upload endpoint.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Langflow to version 1.9.1 or later to fix the upload controls and suppress path exposure.
  • If an upgrade is not possible, enforce authentication on the upload endpoint to restrict access only authorized users.
  • Implement file size limits or storage quotas on the upload folder to mitigate space exhaustion.
  • Sanitize or remove absolute file paths from server responses to avoid leaking filesystem details.
