- langflow-ai langflow v1.9.3 is affected by: Code Injection. The impact is: execute arbitrary code
(remote). The component is: src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/validate.py:validate-post_validate_code-a-
real-authenticated-http-post-to-api-v1. The attack vector is: Attack surface: HTTP or browser-backed
service path. A public-facing route accepts raw Python source and forwards it into a server-side
compile/exec validation path without any visible entitlement guard. ¶¶ A weakness has been identified in
langflow-ai langflow up to 1.9.3. langflow contains a code injection vulnerability in validate-
post_validate_code-a-real-authenticated-http-post-to-api-v1
(src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/validate.py:13). An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary Python
code on the server by submitting malicious code to the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint, which directly
executes user-supplied code without sandboxing or security controls. (CVE-2026-51886)
