CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedIBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 to 1.11.5 are vulnerable due to improper access control in the File/Read File component, allowing authenticated attackers to access sensitive files belonging to other users. By exploiting the /api/v1/run/advanced/{flow_id} endpoint, attackers can manipulate file paths to read unauthorized data from different user storage namespaces. Organizations using this software should prioritize patching this vulnerability to prevent potential data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Original NVD Description
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 Langflow could allow an authenticated attacker to access sensitive files belonging to other users due to improper access control in the File/Read File component. When executing flows through the /api/v1/run/advanced/{flow_id} endpoint, the application allows component inputs to reference storage paths using arbitrary user or flow identifiers without verifying ownership. An attacker with low‑privileged authenticated access can supply a crafted file path pointing to another user’s storage namespace, causing the backend to read and return the contents of files uploaded by other users. This vulnerability bypasses intended authorization checks enforced by the file management API and may result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive user data.
