Server-side code execution via unrestricted lambda eval
Published May 3, 2026 · Updated May 3, 2026
Code injection in Langflow OSS 1.8.0 through 1.8.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute Python in the server process. Smart Transform performs only superficial format checks on an LLM-generated lambda, passes it to eval with full builtins, and invokes the resulting function. Direct exploitation requires flow-author access; indirect prompt injection also requires an exposed flow, attacker-controlled input, and a configured model that follows the injected instruction.
