Unauthenticated code execution via unvalidated code parameter
Published Jan 23, 2026 · Updated Jan 23, 2026
Code injection in Langflow OSS 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code through the unauthenticated validate endpoint. The endpoint passes the user-controlled code parameter to Python execution without validating or constraining the supplied string. A network-reachable instance is sufficient for code to run with the Langflow service's privileges, which ZDI reports as root.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
