Langflow < 1.3.0 Unauthenticated RCE via /api/v1/validate/code
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Now (action score 99/100)
- CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (May 5, 2025); it is known to be used in ransomware campaigns. Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: May 26, 2025.
- A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit, Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 99.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.9% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: langflow-ai langflow 1.3.0.
Patch today or shut off access. Upgrade to langflow-ai langflow 1.3.0 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS
Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0 are susceptible to code injection in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to execute arbitrary code.
