CVE-2026-7869

Langflow OSS is affected by arbitrary code execution in custom component validation and trusted code enforcement

Published Aug 5, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.3 is vulnerable to Path Traversal in the Knowledge Bases API (`POST /api/v1/knowledge_bases`). This occurs because user-supplied knowledge base names are used directly to create file paths without proper sanitization or containment checks. An authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to create directories and write files anywhere on the server's filesystem.
