Unauthenticated file disclosure via path parameter traversal
Published Mar 24, 2026 · Updated Mar 24, 2026
Path traversal in Langflow OSS before 1.7.1 allows remote attackers to read service-accessible files via crafted URL paths. The download_profile_picture function joins unsanitized folder_name and file_name values into a profile-picture path and reads the resolved file without enforcing directory containment. The endpoint requires no authentication; disclosure is limited to files readable by the service, including the JWT-signing secret used to forge administrator tokens.
