Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account on the IBM Langflow OSS instance with at minimum low-privilege access (CVSS PR:L). The attacker must be able to submit workflow inputs, component configurations, or execution parameters that reference environment variables - a normal interaction pattern within Langflow's intended use. No user interaction beyond the attacker's own authenticated session is required (UI:N), and no special non-default configuration of Langflow is needed beyond running an affected version (1.0.0-1.11.5). Limiting factors: the attacker must possess valid credentials for the specific target instance; the exact environment variables exploitable depend on which entries are missing from the blocklist (specific variables not publicly enumerated at time of analysis); and the platform must be reachable over the network by the attacker. Instances with strict access controls limiting who can create or execute workflow components have a meaningfully reduced attack surface.

Impact

The CVSS 8.8 score accurately reflects the post-authentication severity: the attack is network-accessible, low-complexity, and requires only low-privilege credentials before achieving full C:H/I:H/A:H impact. The primary real-world limiting factor is PR:L - exploitation is constrained to authenticated users rather than anonymous internet actors, meaningfully reducing exposure compared to a PR:N vulnerability of equivalent impact. No EPSS data, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the available intelligence, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. However, the AI/ML pipeline execution context of Langflow makes code injection particularly dangerous: the platform is designed to run user-supplied logic, which complicates behavioral detection and allows the injected payload to blend with legitimate workflow activity. Any organization running a multi-user Langflow OSS deployment - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in bytom piloting AI automation - should treat this as urgent, given the low post-authentication barrier and the high likelihood that attacker-controlled workflow inputs are a common interaction pattern. The incomplete blocklist root cause also raises a concern that the patch scope may need independent verification: blocklist-based mitigations are prone to future bypasses if the fix only adds specific entries rather than restructuring the restriction approach.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a valid low-privilege account on an IBM Langflow OSS instance (versions 1.0.0-1.11.5) constructs a workflow component or execution payload that references an environment variable absent from the server's incomplete blocklist, injecting malicious code into the platform's execution context. The server evaluates the injected code with application-level privileges, granting the attacker full control over the host. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but given low attack complexity (AC:L) the technique is straightforward to replicate once a working account is obtained.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026

Remote code execution in IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 allows authenticated low-privileged users to execute arbitrary server-side code by exploiting an incomplete environment variable blocklist. The root cause (CWE-94, Code Injection) means the platform's intended restrictions on environment variable access can be circumvented by supplying references to variables omitted from the blocklist, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and a vendor-released patch is available per IBM advisory node/7286666.

RemediationAI

Upgrade IBM Langflow OSS to a patched version as directed by the IBM advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286666 - the exact fixed version must be confirmed from that advisory, as the available data only specifies the vulnerable range through 1.11.5. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict the authenticated user base to the minimum necessary set by removing unnecessary accounts and enforcing least-privilege role assignments, directly reducing the pool of principals who could exploit the flaw. Network-level controls such as VPN enforcement, IP allowlisting, and firewall rules limiting access to the Langflow service can further reduce exposure by ensuring only trusted hosts can authenticate; however, these are compensating controls only and do not address the underlying blocklist deficiency. Audit existing workflows and execution logs for anomalous environment variable references as an indicator of prior exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

IBM Langflow OSS is a visual, open-source framework for constructing and executing multi-agent AI workflows and pipelines, derived from the community Langflow project and distributed under IBM's OSS umbrella. The platform allows users to define workflow components that can reference and consume environment variables during execution. CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) manifests here as an incomplete blocklist: the application attempts to restrict which environment variables are accessible to user-controlled execution contexts, but the enumeration is incomplete, leaving gaps that permit code injection. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:ibm:langflow_oss:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering the entire release history from 1.0.0 through 1.11.5. Because the platform's core purpose is orchestrating code execution in AI pipelines, the boundary between intended and malicious execution is inherently thin, making blocklist-based restriction an architecturally fragile control.

DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to an incomplete environment variable blocklist.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 contain a remote code execution vulnerability allowing authenticated low-privileged users to execute arbitrary server-side code by bypassing environment variable restrictions. This enables complete compromise of affected systems including data theft, manipulation, and operational disruption. Organizations running these versions should prioritize immediate patching to restore security controls.

Attack Technique

Code Injection CRITICAL

Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
