Unauthenticated code execution via public flow data
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Code injection in Langflow OSS before 1.9.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python through a public flow build request. The unauthenticated POST /api/v1/build_public_tmp/{flow_id}/flow handler accepts a caller-supplied data graph, extracts node code, and sends compiled definitions to exec() without sandboxing. A known public-flow UUID and any client_id cookie are sufficient; default AUTO_LOGIN also lets remote attackers create the required public flow and compromise the server process.

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.
