Exploitation Conditions

Per the CVSS vector, no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are required, and the attack is network-reachable (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), implying remote unauthenticated exploitation against affected Langflow OSS 1.0.0-1.11.5 instances that expose the vulnerable command-handling endpoint. The concrete prerequisite is network reachability of the affected Langflow service and the ability to reach the specific input path that flows into an OS command; the description does not name a required non-default feature toggle. The primary limiting factor is exposure - instances placed behind authentication, network segmentation, or a reverse proxy are far less reachable in practice despite the PR:N rating; the exact vulnerable endpoint is not specified in the available data.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority issue: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.8) describes unauthenticated, low-complexity, network-reachable command execution with total host impact, and the CWE-78 class is highly automatable once a working request is known - so any organization running an internet-exposed Langflow instance should treat this as urgent. That said, no EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or public POC is present in the provided data, so 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - the severity rests on the vector and CWE rather than confirmed exploitation. The main uncertainty is exposure: many Langflow deployments sit behind authentication or on internal networks, which would materially reduce real-world reachability despite the PR:N rating; verify the exact vulnerable endpoint and whether your instance is publicly accessible.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers an internet-exposed Langflow OSS instance and sends a crafted request to the vulnerable endpoint containing shell metacharacters in a field that is passed into an OS command. Because no authentication is required (PR:N) and complexity is low, the injected command executes on the host, giving the attacker code execution to exfiltrate data, pivot into the network, or deploy further payloads. No public exploit code is currently identified, but the CWE-78 pattern is straightforward to weaponize.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026

Remote OS command execution in IBM Langflow OSS (versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5) lets remote attackers run arbitrary operating-system commands due to improper neutralization of special elements passed into a shell command (CWE-78). Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction and yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the host. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though the vendor has released a patch.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor patch: a fix is available per the IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286666 - upgrade to the fixed Langflow OSS release identified there (an exact fixed version is not enumerated in the provided input, so confirm the target build from the advisory before upgrading). Until patched, reduce exposure by removing Langflow from direct internet reachability, placing it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or VPN, and restricting network access to the affected endpoint to trusted operators only; these controls limit reachability but do not remove the underlying injection flaw, so they are stopgaps pending the upgrade. Also review and disable any unnecessary code-execution or shell/tool components in flows to shrink the attack surface, accepting the trade-off that dependent workflows may break.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Langflow is an open-source, Python-based visual framework for building LLM/agent workflows, here distributed by IBM as 'Langflow OSS' (CPE cpe:2.3:a:ibm:langflow_oss). The root cause is CWE-78 (OS Command Injection): attacker-influenced input is concatenated into a command string that reaches an OS shell or process executor without adequate escaping or allow-listing, so shell metacharacters (e.g. ;, |, &&, backticks, $()) are interpreted as additional commands. Langflow's design - which executes user-defined flows, code components, and tool integrations - makes such command-construction paths a plausible sink, and the vendor advisory (IBM support node 7286666) tracks the fix.

DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM Langflow Open Source Software versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 contain a critical remote command execution vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on vulnerable servers with no user interaction required. Organizations running these versions face complete system compromise, including unauthorized access, data theft, and operational disruption. Immediate patching is critical to prevent exploitation.
