Remote code execution via unvalidated Python exec
Published Oct 31, 2024 · Updated Mar 27, 2026
Code injection in Langflow 1.0.12 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code through the PythonCodeTool component. PythonCodeTool passes its tool_code value directly to Python exec() with the application globals and a local namespace, without validating the submitted code. Exploitation requires control of a flow's Tool Code and execution of that flow, after which commands run with the Langflow server process's access.
