Description
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows an authenticated attacker to create a malicious flow pointing to an attacker-controlled URL that returns a specially crafted Content-Disposition header (e.g., filename="../../../target/path" ), enabling arbitrary file write operations with attacker-controlled content to any path accessible by the Langflow process.

Impact

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allow an authenticated attacker to create a malicious flow that points to an external URL serving a specially crafted Content-Disposition header. The header can contain a filename of the form "../../../target/path", enabling the Langflow process to write arbitrary content to any path that the process can access. This flaw is a classic path traversal (CWE-22) and permits arbitrary file write, allowing an attacker to inject configuration or executable files and potentially execute code or modify system state.

Affected Systems

IBM Langflow OSS is affected by this vulnerability. All releases from version 1.0.0 up to and including 1.10.0 are impacted, as indicated by the associated CPE identifiers.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 categorizes the issue as high severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation at the current time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. However, because it requires authenticated access, any compromised or privileged user can exploit the flaw to write files to arbitrary locations. The likely attack vector is an attacker who gains legitimate API access to construct a malicious flow. If the written file is a critical system file or a script executed by the process, the attacker could achieve remote code execution or system compromise.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading Langflow OSS to version 1.10.1


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to version 1.10.1 or later, which eliminates the ability to write arbitrary file paths via malicious Content-Disposition headers.
  • Restrict the Langflow API so that only trusted, appropriately privileged users can create or modify flows that reference external URLs.
  • Configure the application to validate and sanitize the filename component of Content-Disposition headers, ensuring that relative paths cannot escape the intended directory, or disable fetching of external URLs if the feature is unnecessary.
