Unauthenticated disk exhaustion and path disclosure via upload
Published Jun 23, 2026 · Updated Jun 23, 2026
Missing authentication in Langflow before 1.9.1 allows remote attackers to exhaust server disk space and disclose an absolute cache path. The deprecated POST /api/v1/upload/{flow_id} route sends an arbitrary flow UUID and uploaded content to save_uploaded_file without authenticating the caller or enforcing max_file_size_upload, then returns file_path. Network access alone reaches the still-live route; repeated uploads consume storage, and each response reveals the server-side cache location.
