Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated Langflow account (CVSS PR:L) and the ability to reach and use the Python Interpreter component within a flow - that specific component is the vulnerable feature named in the description. No user interaction by a victim is required (UI:N) and the attack is performed over the network against the Langflow application (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L). The principal limiting factors are: the attacker must be logged in (not unauthenticated), the instance must be network-reachable to the attacker, and the affected version must be in the 1.0.0-1.10.1 range; there is no indication a non-default configuration is needed beyond having the Python Interpreter component available.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (8.8, High) indicates a network-reachable attack with low complexity, requiring only low privileges (an authenticated but not necessarily administrative account), no user interaction, and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - a strong risk profile. The key mitigating factor is PR:L: the attacker must first hold a valid Langflow account, so this is not an unauthenticated internet-wide exploit. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation probability and automatability cannot be quantified from the input; treat those as unknown rather than low. There is no signal-conflict here - the description ('authenticated user', 'Python Interpreter component') is consistent with PR:L and AV:N. Given command injection root cause and a component that already runs code, real-world exploitability once authenticated is high, so this should be prioritized wherever Langflow accounts are broadly provisioned or the instance is internet-exposed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained any valid Langflow account - through self-registration, weak credentials, or a compromised low-privilege user - builds or edits a flow that uses the Python Interpreter component and supplies crafted input containing OS command syntax. When the flow runs, the injected commands execute in the host shell at the Langflow service's privilege level, giving the attacker command execution and potential full host compromise. No public exploit code was identified in the provided intelligence, but the low attack complexity means a working exploit would be straightforward to develop.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 17, 2026

OS command injection in IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 lets an authenticated user run arbitrary system commands with elevated privileges by abusing improper input validation in the Python Interpreter component. Because the flaw sits in a feature that already executes user-supplied Python, any logged-in user can escalate to full host command execution (CVSS 8.8, CWE-78). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity and network vector make it high-priority for any exposed Langflow deployment.

RemediationAI

Consult the IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7279996 for the vendor's fixed release and upgrade to the patched version above 1.10.1 once identified - the input data did not include an exact fix version, so verify the target version directly from that advisory before deploying. As compensating controls where immediate patching is not possible: restrict who can log in to Langflow (the flaw requires an authenticated account, so tightening account provisioning and removing shared or self-service accounts materially reduces exposure); place the Langflow UI/API behind a VPN or network ACL so it is not internet-reachable, cutting the AV:N attack path; and run the Langflow process as a low-privileged, non-root service account inside a locked-down container to blunt the 'elevated privileges' impact. If your workflows do not require it, disabling or removing access to the Python Interpreter component removes the vulnerable feature at the cost of losing custom-code flow functionality. Note that network restrictions do not protect against a malicious or compromised internal user with a valid account.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Langflow is an open-source, Python-based low-code framework for building LLM/agent workflows, distributed by IBM as Langflow OSS. The affected surface is the Python Interpreter component, a node that evaluates user-provided code as part of a flow. The root cause is CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), meaning user-supplied input reaches an OS command context without adequate sanitization, allowing shell metacharacters or command constructs to break out into the host shell. The CPE data was not supplied in the input; affected products are known only from the NVD-style version range (1.0.0-1.10.1). The 'elevated privileges' note indicates the resulting commands run at the privilege level of the Langflow server process, which in many container or service deployments is root or a broadly privileged service account.

DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 Langflow could allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input in the Python Interpreter component.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 contain a command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated users to gain full control of underlying systems. Organizations using Langflow for AI workflow automation face significant risk of unauthorized infrastructure access and data exfiltration; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability's network-accessible nature and low attack complexity demand immediate remediation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: network segmentation restricting Langflow access to trusted networks only; multi-factor authentication on all authenticated user accounts; disabling or restricting access to the Python Interpreter component; host-level monitoring of command execution and subprocess activity; and immediate audit and deprovisioning of unnecessary user accounts.
