MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session to IBM Langflow OSS (CVSS PR:L), after which the attacker sends a specially crafted URL request with directory-traversal input to read arbitrary files on the host; no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and it is reachable over the network (AV:N). Limiting factors: only versions 1.0.0 through 1.12.4 are affected, authentication is mandatory so purely anonymous exploitation is not indicated by the CVSS vector, and impact is read-only (C:H, I:N, A:N) - it exposes file contents but does not grant write or code execution. The specific endpoint, feature, or configuration that exposes the traversal is not described in the available sources. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity path traversal (CWE-22) in IBM Langflow OSS with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 and vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N. The signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting: network-reachable (AV:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L), but it requires an authenticated user (PR:L), and impact is confined to confidentiality (C:H, I:N, A:N) - it enables reading arbitrary files, not modifying them or disrupting service. There is no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month', which aligns with a real-but-not-emergency priority: a credentialed attacker (or a compromised/low-privileged account) can read sensitive files such as configuration, secrets, or environment data, but the authentication requirement and confidentiality-only impact keep this below top-tier urgency. Treat it as a planned-patch item within the normal cycle, prioritizing instances exposed to untrusted or multi-tenant users. Note that EPSS and KEV data are absent from the input rather than confirmed negative; absence of an exploit signal is not proof one will not appear. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Langflow user (or an attacker who has obtained any valid low-privilege credential) sends a specially crafted URL request containing directory-traversal sequences to a file-serving endpoint. Because attack complexity is low and the request is made over the network, the server returns the contents of arbitrary files outside the intended directory, exposing configuration, credentials, or other sensitive data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Authenticated path traversal in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.12.4 lets a logged-in user submit a crafted URL request to read arbitrary files on the host, with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), and exploitation requires a valid authenticated session. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and IBM has published a vendor advisory and patch reference.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: consult IBM advisory https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7293016 and upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to the fixed release identified there; the input does not provide an exact fixed version number, so the advisory should be used to confirm the target version for the 1.0.0 through 1.12.4 branch. The available sources do not describe a specific workaround or configuration change, so confirm any compensating control in the vendor advisory before relying on it.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-22 improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, commonly called path traversal. IBM Langflow OSS is matched by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:ibm:langflow_oss:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, and the affected range is 1.0.0 through 1.12.4. The available sources confirm that a crafted URL request can traverse directories and expose arbitrary files, but they do not identify the specific endpoint, parameter, or feature that exposes the traversal. The CVSS vector indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, mandatory authentication (PR:L), no user interaction, and a read-only confidentiality impact; because the vector is C:H/I:N/A:N, the flaw exposes file contents but is not assessed as enabling file modification, code execution, or denial of service.
