DescriptionNVD

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the disk-based caching mechanism. The AsyncDiskCache class uses Python's unsafe pickle.loads() function to deserialize cached objects from disk without validation, integrity verification, or authentication, enabling arbitrary code execution when malicious pickle payloads are processed. Attackers who can influence cached data through file system access, malicious workflow inputs, custom components, or API manipulation can achieve complete system compromise with the privileges of the Langflow server process.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows attackers to run arbitrary code by planting a malicious pickle payload that the AsyncDiskCache deserializes with unauthenticated pickle.loads(). Any actor able to influence cached data - via file system access, crafted workflow inputs, custom components, or API manipulation - gains full compromise at the privilege of the Langflow server process. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to Langflow with low privileges
Delivery
Submit malicious workflow/component or write poisoned cache file
Exploit
Payload stored as pickle in AsyncDiskCache
Execution
Cache entry loaded via pickle.loads()
Persist
__reduce__ gadget executes code
Impact
Full compromise as Langflow server process

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to place attacker-controlled bytes into a disk cache entry that AsyncDiskCache later deserializes with pickle.loads() - concretely, one of: write access to the Langflow disk cache directory on the file system; the ability to submit malicious workflow inputs; the ability to register/run custom components; or API manipulation that feeds data into the cache. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are largely consistent and point to a genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with low-privileged access to a shared or API-exposed Langflow instance submits a workflow or component whose data is written into the disk cache as a malicious pickle payload; when that cache entry is later loaded via AsyncDiskCache.pickle.loads(), the embedded __reduce__ gadget executes and runs the attacker's code as the Langflow server process. Alternatively, an attacker with write access to the cache directory drops a poisoned cache file directly. …
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade to the fixed IBM Langflow OSS release identified in IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7278922 (an exact fixed version number was not included in the provided data, so confirm it there before deploying). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all systems running IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0-1.10.0 across production and non-production environments; immediately restrict network access to affected instances or take them offline if patching cannot be completed within this window. …
