| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must hold a valid low-privilege Langflow OSS account (CVSS PR:L, authenticated) on a running 1.0.0-1.10.1 instance and be able to create or run a workflow that uses the SaveToFile component with an attacker-specified absolute path. Concretely, exploitation requires supplying an absolute filesystem path that points at another user's storage location, then using append mode to read+exfiltrate victim data or overwrite mode to tamper with it. What limits exploitation: it is not usable by unauthenticated outsiders, and it only yields cross-user impact on multi-user/shared deployments - a single-tenant or single-user instance has no victim namespace to violate, and the attacker must know or guess the victim's storage path. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N = 8.1 High) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, with high confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability impact - consistent with an authenticated multi-tenant data-boundary break. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV entry, or POC was supplied, so real-world exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input, and absence of these signals should not be read as low risk. Practical priority depends heavily on deployment: a shared/multi-user Langflow instance where distinct users must be isolated makes this a genuine high priority, whereas a single-user or single-tenant deployment materially reduces impact because there is no victim namespace to cross into. Because PR:L requires the attacker to already hold a valid (even low-privilege) account, this is more of an insider/foothold-escalation risk than an unauthenticated internet-wide threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privilege but authenticated Langflow user builds a workflow whose SaveToFile component targets an absolute path belonging to another user's storage. In append mode the workflow reads the victim's file, appends attacker data, and writes the combined content - now containing the victim's data - into the attacker's own namespace for retrieval; in overwrite mode the same access is used to clobber the victim's file with arbitrary content. No public POC is identified, but the low attack complexity and lack of required user interaction make the technique straightforward for any account holder. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 17, 2026
Cross-user file access in IBM Langflow OSS (1.0.0 through 1.10.1) lets an authenticated user abuse the SaveToFile component to read and modify files uploaded by other users by supplying absolute paths that point into victim storage locations. Append mode enables exfiltration of victim data into the attacker's namespace (confidentiality), while overwrite mode allows replacing victim content with arbitrary data (integrity), collapsing the per-user storage ownership boundary. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; a vendor patch is available.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade to the fixed release identified in IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7279990 (the input does not include an exact fixed version string, so confirm the target version directly from that advisory before deploying). Until patched, restrict the SaveToFile component and any workflow file paths to a per-user directory and reject absolute paths or paths that resolve outside the calling user's storage root; where feasible, disable or gate the SaveToFile component for untrusted users, noting this breaks legitimate file-saving workflows. Additionally, limit account provisioning on shared instances and monitor storage for cross-user writes/appends, accepting the operational overhead of tighter access review as the trade-off for closing the tenant boundary until the upgrade is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Langflow is an open-source visual framework for building LLM-driven agents and workflows, where users compose components on a canvas and persist artifacts to per-user storage. The affected element is the SaveToFile component, which accepts a file path argument used for writing (and, in append mode, first reading) files. The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the component trusts the user-supplied absolute path as the storage key without validating that the path resolves inside the requesting user's own namespace, so a caller can reference another tenant's files. This is an IDOR-class flaw rather than classic path traversal - the key identifying the target object is fully attacker-controlled and no ownership check is enforced before the read/append/overwrite operation.

DescriptionCVE.org
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 can allow an authenticated attacker to exploit the SaveToFile component to read and modify another user's uploaded files by specifying absolute paths pointing to victim storage locations. In append mode, the attacker's workflow reads victim file contents, appends attacker-controlled data, and uploads a copy containing victim data to the attacker's namespace (confidentiality breach). In overwrite mode, the attacker can replace victim file contents with arbitrary data (integrity breach). This breaks the storage ownership boundary between users.
Executive ViewAI
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 contain a cross-user file access vulnerability allowing authenticated users to read and modify files belonging to other users in shared deployments. This breaks data isolation and enables both confidential data exfiltration and unauthorized file manipulation. Organizations running Langflow for collaborative AI workflows face immediate risk to sensitive data integrity and confidentiality.
