| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account on the IBM Langflow OSS instance (PR:L per CVSS vector), meaning anonymous or unauthenticated access is insufficient. The attacker must be able to supply a URL to a Langflow workflow or API endpoint that the application subsequently fetches on the backend. No special non-default configuration beyond a standard Langflow installation within the affected version range (1.0.0-1.11.2) is described as required. Exploitation is bounded by: (1) the authentication barrier - only users with at minimum low-privilege access can trigger the flaw; (2) the read-only impact scope (I:N/A:N) - internal services can be probed and their responses exfiltrated, but cannot be modified or disrupted directly through this vulnerability; (3) network topology - the sensitivity of data exposed depends on what internal services are reachable from the Langflow host's network position. |
| Impact | The CVSS 7.7 score reflects meaningful real-world risk: the vulnerability is network-exploitable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), requires only low-privilege authentication (PR:L), needs no user interaction (UI:N), produces a scope change (S:C), and carries high confidentiality impact (C:H). The scope change is the key differentiator - successful exploitation reaches internal services beyond the application's own boundary, meaning even a mid-sized municipal IT team in leszno running Langflow would be exposing internal metadata endpoints, credential stores, or microservices otherwise shielded from the internet. EPSS data was not provided in the input; however, the authentication requirement (PR:L) introduces meaningful friction against mass automated exploitation, since anonymous or unauthenticated access is insufficient. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are confirmed in the provided data, which positions this as a targeted rather than opportunistic risk. The absence of integrity and availability impact (I:N/A:N) limits the blast radius relative to RCE scenarios, but C:H means sensitive internal data - cloud metadata credentials, internal API keys, service tokens - can be exfiltrated by any authenticated Langflow user. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Langflow user submits a crafted URL - for example, one using a scheme or encoding variant that passes front-end validation but resolves to an internal address such as the cloud instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254) or an internal microservice - through a Langflow workflow or API call. The application's backend fetches the internal resource and returns or logs the response, leaking credentials, tokens, or configuration data to the attacker. No public exploit code is confirmed, but the underlying URL parser smuggling technique is well-documented in the SSRF category and does not require specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 04, 2026
Server-Side Request Forgery in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 enables authenticated remote attackers to exploit a URL parser discrepancy, causing the application to issue unauthorized backend requests to internal services and expose sensitive information beyond the application's trust boundary. The CVSS scope-change metric (S:C) confirms that impact extends past the Langflow instance itself to internal network resources not directly reachable by the attacker. Vendor patch is available via IBM's support portal; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch per IBM security advisory https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285639 - patch availability is confirmed, but the precise fixed version number must be verified there directly. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, enforce egress firewall rules on the Langflow application server to block outbound connections to internal CIDR ranges, including RFC-1918 addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and cloud metadata endpoints such as 169.254.169.254, which directly reduces the SSRF blast radius; note that overly broad egress restrictions may break legitimate Langflow workflow features that fetch external URLs. Additionally, limit the number of accounts with Langflow access to the minimum necessary, since the vulnerability requires at least low-privilege authentication. Network-level monitoring for unexpected outbound connections from the Langflow host to internal services can aid in detecting exploitation attempts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
IBM Langflow OSS is an AI workflow orchestration platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:ibm:langflow_oss). The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), arising specifically from a URL parser discrepancy - a condition where different layers of the application interpret the same URL string differently, allowing a crafted input to pass front-end validation while the backend resolves it to an unintended internal target. This pattern is well-understood in platforms that fetch remote URLs on behalf of users: for instance, Python's urllib, the requests library, and HTTP client implementations can disagree on handling edge-case syntax such as embedded credentials, unusual scheme variants, or unicode normalization, enabling an attacker to smuggle an internal address past validation checks. Langflow, as a workflow tool, inherently processes user-supplied URLs as part of its AI pipeline functionality, broadening the attack surface for this class of issue.

DescriptionCVE.org
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information from internal services due to a URL parser discrepancy.
Executive ViewAI
A vulnerability in IBM Langflow automation platform enables authenticated users to access internal backend systems and sensitive data that should remain isolated, creating material risk of data breach and lateral movement through internal infrastructure. Organizations using Langflow must immediately apply vendor patches to prevent unauthorized access to critical backend resources and compliance violations from data exposure.
Apply vendor patch.
