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 langflow

Upgrade Langflow OSS to version 1.11.6 from PyPI, following the IBM advisory.

Technical details

CVE-2026-78575 is an OS command injection flaw in Langflow OSS's MCP stdio server configuration. IBM rates it 8.8 high because a remote authenticated user can execute commands without additional interaction.
