MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Impact The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The description states only 'uncontrolled resource consumption' and names no specific feature, endpoint, protocol, configuration setting, or deployment mode, so the exact prerequisite trigger is not described in the available sources. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), exploitation requires network reachability to the Langflow service but no authentication and no user interaction. The primary limiting factor is therefore exposure: the Langflow instance must be network-accessible to the attacker (e.g., an internet-facing or reachable internal deployment); instances bound to localhost or placed behind authenticated proxies or rate-limiting would reduce realistic exposure. Impact is availability-only - no data compromise. |
| Impact | Signals are consistent but point to moderate, not urgent, risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with availability-only impact - a classic uncontrolled-resource-consumption denial of service (CWE-400), no confidentiality or integrity loss. The exploitation-oriented signals temper this: EPSS is 0.04% (12th percentile), the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, and SSVC records Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial. These align rather than conflict - a high CVSS severity score driven entirely by the A:H component, but with no evidence of real-world exploitation and low predicted exploitation probability. The only reference is the IBM support/advisory page; there is no public exploit or PoC reference in the input. The vuln.today priority label is 'this_week', indicating it should be remediated on a routine near-term schedule rather than as an emergency. Net assessment: a legitimate availability risk for internet-exposed Langflow instances, but the absence of exploitation evidence and the availability-only, non-automatable profile place it below actively-exploited priorities. The specific trigger (which endpoint, input, or operation drives the resource consumption) is not described in the available sources, which limits precise exposure assessment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted or high-volume requests to a network-exposed IBM Langflow OSS instance (1.0.0 through 1.9.0) that cause uncontrolled consumption of a resource such as CPU, memory, or connections, degrading or halting service for legitimate users. The exact triggering input and resource are not described in the available sources. No public exploit or PoC reference is present in the input. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Oct 26, 2026
Uncontrolled resource consumption in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.9.0 lets remote attackers exhaust server resources and cause a denial of service against the Langflow service. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, availability-only impact rated 7.5) shows exploitation needs network reachability to the Langflow instance but no authentication and no user interaction; instances bound to localhost or shielded by an authenticated proxy or rate limiting carry much lower realistic exposure. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, CISA SSVC records no exploitation activity and classifies the flaw as not automatable, and EPSS is low at 0.04% (12th percentile), so overall risk is moderate rather than urgent.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Denial of service in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.9.0 lets a low-privileged, authenticated remote attacker drive uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400) to degrade or crash the service, with a high availability impact and a minor confidentiality exposure per the CVSS vector. The flaw is network-reachable, requires no user interaction, and needs only a low-privilege account. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not listed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was supplied.
RemediationAI
Consult IBM's advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7273427 for the vendor's fixed release and upgrade Langflow OSS deployments at or above the affected 1.0.0-1.9.0 range once a patched version is confirmed there; the supplied data does not include an exact fix version, so it should be taken directly from that advisory rather than assumed. For internet-facing instances that cannot be upgraded immediately, reducing exposure is the most effective compensating control given the network-reachable, unauthenticated attack surface (AV:N/PR:N): restrict the Langflow service behind an authenticated reverse proxy or network allowlist, and place request rate limiting and concurrency caps in front of it to blunt resource-exhaustion attempts. Trade-offs apply - proxy authentication breaks unauthenticated API and webhook integrations, rate limiting can throttle legitimate high-volume workflow runs, and network allowlisting adds operational overhead for roaming or multi-site users. Because the specific vulnerable feature is not identified in the available sources, endpoint-level blocking cannot be precisely targeted; set memory/CPU limits and restart policies on the container or process so that exhaustion degrades a single instance rather than the host, and monitor for abnormal resource growth as a detection signal. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, which supports scheduling the upgrade in the normal patch cycle rather than an emergency change.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) is a class of availability flaw in which an application accepts input or workloads without bounding the memory, CPU, threads, connections, or storage it allocates, eventually starving legitimate users or crashing the process. Here the affected component is Langflow, the low-code platform for building LLM and agent workflows (CPE cpe:2.3:a:langflow:langflow, all versions, with EUVD scoping the affected range to 1.0.0 through 1.9.0). The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the attack surface is the network-facing Langflow service and that no privileges or user interaction are needed, and the scope-unchanged, availability-high metrics indicate impact stays within the Langflow deployment. The available sources do not describe which feature, endpoint, protocol, configuration setting, or deployment mode is the actual trigger - only that uncontrolled resource consumption occurs - so the precise mechanism (for example whether it targets workflow execution, API endpoints, or model-serving paths) remains unverified and would need vendor advisory detail or reproduction to establish. Confidentiality and integrity impact are none, so this is strictly a availability-degradation issue.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionNVD
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.9.0 could allow a denial of service due to uncontrolled resource consumption.
Executive ViewAI
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.9.0 contain a high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to exhaust server resources and disrupt AI workflow services. Leadership should care because any internet-exposed Langflow instance used by engineering or data science teams is at risk of unavailability, though no active exploitation has been observed and the threat is currently moderate.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include network isolation of Langflow instances to trusted zones, enforcement of authentication and rate limiting via reverse proxy, and deployment of resource consumption monitoring with automated alerting.
