Remote code execution via unsafe cache deserialization
Published Jul 17, 2026 · Updated Jul 17, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows attackers to execute server-side code via malicious cached pickle data. The AsyncDiskCache class passes disk-cached objects to pickle.loads() without validation, integrity verification, or authentication. Exploitation requires influence over cached data through filesystem access, shared storage, a user-controlled workflow, custom components, or API manipulation, and code runs with the Langflow server process privileges.

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.
- Affected versionversion=1.0.0 <=1.10.0
