AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Static secret shipped in the software is remotely usable with no auth or user interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); worst-case inbound-auth use yields full C/I/A loss.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1 contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass and full data compromise affects IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.1, which ships hard-coded credentials (a static password or cryptographic key) embedded in the application. Because the same secret is present in every deployment, remote attackers who read it from the public source or a binary can authenticate to inbound interfaces, impersonate the app to external components, or decrypt internal data on any affected instance. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the shared-secret nature makes exploitation trivial once the value is known.
Technical ContextAI
Langflow is a widely used open-source, low-code visual builder for LLM and AI-agent workflows, maintained under IBM. The root cause is CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials): a secret is compiled into the codebase rather than generated per install or supplied via configuration. Per the description the secret serves one or more security-critical roles - inbound authentication (gating access to the app), outbound communication to external components (service/API authentication), or encryption of internal data (a static key that makes stored secrets recoverable). The affected package is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:ibm:langflow_oss across all versions in the 1.0.0-1.10.1 range. Hard-coded secrets in open-source projects are especially dangerous because the value is publicly auditable in the repository, eliminating any discovery or brute-force barrier.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the fixed IBM Langflow OSS release referenced in IBM's bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7279991 (the exact fixed version was not included in the source data and should be confirmed there). Because the flaw is a static shared secret, upgrading alone is insufficient if the old credential stays valid: after patching, rotate or regenerate any keys, passwords, and encryption material tied to the deployment, and re-encrypt any internally stored secrets that may have been protected with the hard-coded key. As interim compensating controls until patched, restrict network access to the Langflow interface behind a VPN or IP allowlist and place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy, and isolate the external components it communicates with; the trade-off is reduced accessibility for legitimate remote users and added operational overhead. Do not expose Langflow directly to the internet.
