How it works
- A remote user first needs a Langflow account.
- They can provide command-line arguments through the MCP stdio server settings.
- Langflow does not validate those arguments correctly, so it can execute attacker-chosen commands.
What to do
Run python3 -m pip show langflow and compare the reported version with 1.0.0 through 1.11.5. A matching version is affected.
Run this in the application environment you want to check:
python3 -m pip show langflowUpgrade Langflow OSS to version 1.11.6 from PyPI, following the IBM advisory.
