CVE-2026-79725

Langflow is vulnerable to unauthorized file system access due to path traversal and missing storage path validation

Published Sep 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files due to improper access control.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 contain a path traversal flaw and missing storage path validation that lets a remote authenticated attacker read arbitrary files. The weakness enables disclosure of any file the attacker can access through the filesystem, undermining confidentiality for the affected system

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.5. Users of any of these releases are at risk if they allow authenticated access to the feature that processes file paths without verifying the target directory

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 categorizes the issue as moderate. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must be authenticated to exploit it the necessary access. With valid credentials and the ability to craft a request containing a traversal sequence, the attacker can read any file accessible to the application’s process, potentially exposing sensitive system data.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading Langflow OSS to version 1.11.6 https://pypi.org/project/langflow/


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to version 1.11.6 to address the path traversal vulnerability
  • Apply strict input validation for file path parameters and enforce a whitelist of allowed directories to block traversal attempts
  • If upgrading is not immediate, restrict access to the vulnerable feature to privileged users only or disable it, and isolate the application within a container with limited filesystem permissions
