Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. Versions 1.2.0 through 1.8.1 have a bypass of the patch for CVE-2025-68478 (External Control of File Name), leading to the root architectural issue within `LocalStorageService` remaining unresolved. Because the underlying storage layer lacks boundary containment checks, the system relies entirely on the HTTP-layer `ValidatedFileName` dependency. This defense-in-depth failure leaves the `POST /api/v2/files/` endpoint vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write. The multipart upload filename bypasses the path-parameter guard, allowing authenticated attackers to write files anywhere on the host system, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). Version 1.9.0 contains an updated fix.

According to its banner, the version of Langflow running on the remote host is prior to 1.9.0. It is, therefore, affected by a multiples vulnerabilities :

- An Authenticated Code Execution in agentic assistant validation

- An Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via public flow build endpoint

- A Path Traversal in knowledge bases API via bulk delete endpoint

- An Arbitrary File Write (RCE) through the V2 API

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
