Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS

CVE-2026-12944

What is CVE-2026-12944?

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 to 1.10.0 are susceptible to a vulnerability allowing attackers to execute arbitrary Python code with root privileges on the Langflow server. This can be achieved through the submission of components containing socket or urllib imports. The consequences of this vulnerability include unauthorized access to AWS credentials via IMDSv1 SSRF and the potential for arbitrary file exfiltration from the container filesystem, facilitating lateral movement to internal services like PostgreSQL and Redis within the Docker network. Additionally, a misleading security signal is returned by the scanner, indicating a false sense of security.
