How it works

  • The affected setup uses a publicly shared MCP project endpoint.
  • Langflow does not properly enforce its public-flow security restrictions or separate sessions there.
  • An attacker without a login can then run code and access or modify chat sessions.

What to do

Check the installed Langflow OSS version and whether publicly shared MCP project endpoints are enabled. Compare both details with IBM's advisory.

Upgrade Langflow OSS to version 1.11.6, as IBM recommends. Confirm the installed version after updating.

Technical details

CVE-2026-85025 is an authorization flaw in IBM Langflow OSS. IBM rates it critical because exploitation requires no login and can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
