HarborGuard Analysis
Synopsis
This is an authentication bypass vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.9.1 that exposes session history through insecure direct object references (IDORs). An attacker reachable over the network requires no credentials to trigger the flaw, because direct object references in public flow execution endpoints are not access-controlled. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to read sensitive session data and information stored in the affected service. HarborGuard is tracking the upstream advisory for patch availability, as no fix version has been published yet.
HarborGuard Coverage
Detection capability is available across every HarborGuard environment: the CVE is ingested from upstream feeds within minutes of publication and matched against customer images, including custom-built images that bundle IBM Langflow OSS at an affected version. Any image carrying a package fingerprint for Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.9.1 is flagged automatically.
AvailableHarborGuard is capable of scoring this finding at CVSS 7.5 HIGH and weighting it against each customer organization's configured compliance policy to determine urgency and routing. Triage results are routed to the appropriate team inbox within each customer environment based on their policy configuration.
AvailableBecause no upstream fix version has been published, HarborGuard re-checks the advisory on every ingest cycle and will make a patched-image rebuild available the moment IBM ships a corrected release. In the interim, the finding remains open and visible in each customer's vulnerability dashboard so teams can apply compensating controls.
Pending upstreamExploit Conditions
- Network reachabilityRequired
The vulnerable endpoint is exposed over the network, so the attacker must be able to reach the Langflow OSS service via a standard network connection.
- AuthenticationNot required
No credentials are needed; the IDOR flaw allows unauthenticated requests to access protected session history objects directly.
- Victim interactionNot required
The attacker makes direct requests to the service and does not need any action from a logged-in user or victim.
- Attack complexityDetail
Attack complexity is low, meaning the exploit is reliable and requires no special conditions, race timing, or environmental setup.
Blast Radius
- An attacker reads session history records belonging to other users, including inputs, outputs, and any data passed through Langflow flows.
- Sensitive configuration details or secrets embedded in flow execution history become accessible without authentication.
- No integrity or availability impact is indicated; data cannot be modified or the service disrupted through this specific vector.
How HarborGuard Handles This
Available on HarborGuard: images containing IBM Langflow OSS at any version between 1.0.0 and 1.9.1 are flagged as soon as a scan runs against a registry or CI pipeline stage where those images are present. Because IBM has not yet published a fix, HarborGuard monitors the advisory on every ingest cycle and will automatically make a patched-image rebuild available the moment an upstream fix is released. For customers who opt into auto-remediation, that rebuild will trigger a regression test run and a pull request against affected workloads without manual intervention. While no patch exists, teams running affected images should consider isolating the Langflow service behind a network policy that restricts inbound access to trusted sources only, applying egress filtering to limit what session data can be exfiltrated, and auditing any public-facing flow execution endpoints for exposure.
