IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 allows an authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem - including server secret material (secret_key, JWT signing keys, the application database, /proc/self/environ, and other tenants' upload directories) - by supplying absolute paths or traversal sequences in the files parameter of an authenticated build request. The file contents were embedded as text attachments in the language model prompt and transmitted to the configured model endpoint, resulting in confidential data exfiltration. This bypassed the LANGFLOW_RESTRICT_LOCAL_FILE_ACCESS=true containment boundary, which was enforced for other file-reading components but not for the Chat Input to Message attachment pipeline.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated path traversal in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 allows any logged-in user to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem - including JWT signing keys, the application secret_key, the runtime database, /proc/self/environ, and other tenants' uploaded files - by supplying absolute paths or traversal sequences in the files parameter of a build request. What elevates the risk beyond a standard directory traversal is the exfiltration mechanism: file contents are embedded directly into the LLM prompt and transmitted to the configured model endpoint, meaning secrets leave the controlled environment and reach third-party AI provider infrastructure. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session on the Langflow instance - any registered user with PR:L privileges, not just administrators. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.7 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the risk profile: network-accessible, low complexity, requiring only a valid authenticated session with no elevated privileges. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to the patched version identified in the IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7285641; the exact fixed version number is not specified in currently available data and must be confirmed directly from that advisory page. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
