Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must hold a valid authenticated account on the target IBM Langflow OSS instance (PR:L per CVSS). No special role or elevated privilege beyond a standard user account is required. The vulnerable behavior affects all versions from 1.0.0 through 1.10.2 on all platforms (no OS or deployment-mode restriction indicated). The practical precondition limiting exploitation is that the attacker must be an authenticated user of the same Langflow OSS deployment as the victim - exploitation across completely separate instances is not applicable. There is no requirement for victim interaction. Exploitation impact is limited by scope remaining unchanged (S:U), meaning the attacker cannot escalate beyond the Langflow application boundary to the underlying host.

Impact

The CVSS 7.1 score with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N reflects a realistic threat: a low-privileged authenticated attacker can exploit this remotely with no user interaction and no special attack complexity. The high confidentiality impact is significant in AI workflow contexts, where workflow definitions may encode sensitive system prompts, credentials, or proprietary business logic. The low integrity impact (history injection) is a secondary but real concern for audit trail integrity. Counterbalancing signals: EPSS is only 0.18% (7th percentile), SSVC rates exploitation as none and the vulnerability as not automatable, and no active exploitation or public PoC has been identified. This is a real vulnerability warranting patching but not emergency response - it is exploitable only by already-authenticated users and does not cross scope boundaries. The practical risk is highest in multi-tenant or shared deployments where users have separate workflow ownership boundaries.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privileged user logs into a shared IBM Langflow OSS deployment, then iterates through workflow IDs (e.g., incrementing integer IDs or enumerating UUIDs via timing/enumeration) in API requests to the workflow history endpoint. By substituting another user's workflow ID for their own, they retrieve that user's full workflow history - potentially exposing embedded API keys, system prompts, or proprietary data. They can also call the history-injection endpoint with a victim workflow ID to plant false entries, corrupting audit trails or misleading downstream automated consumers. No public PoC is required; standard HTTP interception tooling suffices given the IDOR pattern.

AnalysisAIv2 – Sep 09, 2026

Improper authorization (IDOR/CWE-639) in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.2 allows a remote authenticated attacker to access other users' workflow data and inject messages into workflow history they do not own. The flaw stems from user-controlled keys not being validated against the authenticated session's authorization scope, enabling horizontal privilege escalation across tenant workflows. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; IBM has released a patch and the SSVC assessment confirms exploitation is currently none with partial technical impact.

v1 Sep 04, 2026 - 17:11 CVSS 4.9

Improper authorization (CWE-639, IDOR) in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.2 allows an authenticated low-privileged remote attacker to read sensitive data from other users' workflow histories and inject arbitrary messages into those histories. The S:C scope change in the CVSS vector confirms the flaw crosses privilege boundaries, permitting one tenant to tamper with another's AI workflow records. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and a vendor patch is available via IBM advisory.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patch referenced in the IBM security advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286294; the exact fixed version is not independently confirmed from available data but the advisory confirms patch availability. As a compensating control pending upgrade, restrict Langflow OSS access to trusted, single-tenant environments where all authenticated users are mutually trusted - this eliminates the horizontal privilege escalation risk without disabling functionality. If multi-tenant isolation is required, consider placing per-tenant network segmentation or API gateway authorization in front of workflow endpoints to enforce ownership validation externally. Injecting audit logging on workflow history endpoints can detect exploitation attempts. Note that gateway-layer controls are mitigations only and do not fix the underlying IDOR flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details

IBM Langflow OSS is IBM's packaged distribution of the open-source Langflow AI workflow orchestration platform, which allows users to visually build and manage LLM-based pipelines. The affected versions span 1.0.0 through 1.10.2, per CPE cpe:2.3:a:ibm:langflow_oss. CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) indicates the application uses attacker-controllable identifiers - such as workflow IDs or history record IDs passed in API requests - to locate and operate on resources without verifying that the authenticated user is authorized to access the referenced object. This is a classic IDOR pattern. The dual impact - high confidentiality (read sensitive workflow contents including potentially embedded API keys, prompts, or data) and low integrity (inject arbitrary messages into another user's workflow history) - suggests distinct endpoints or parameters are vulnerable for each operation.

DescriptionNVD

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information and inject messages into workflow history due to improper authorization.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.2 contain an authorization flaw that permits authenticated users to access other users' workflow data and manipulate workflow histories without proper permission. Organizations deploying this platform for business automation face data breach and workflow tampering risks within their tenant environment. Immediate patching and data-access audit are essential to restore proper isolation.
