CVE-2026-48520
Summary
The "Shareable Playground" (or "Public Flows" in code) contains a potential arbitrary file-read vulnerability, depending on the exact flow configuration used.
By making a flow public, public execution of the flow is allowed. The execution request can contain a list of files that gets read by Langflow and fed into the LLM.
The files path can be any path supported by the storage - it can be either a local file or *S3 path* if supported by the local configuration
Details
Shareable Playground feature works by enabling the execution of workflows by unauthenticated users, by accessing a link.
Specifically, it enables the route /api/v1/build_public_tmp to execute any public flow, given a public flow ID.
This request contains a files field that can contain a list of files. The files get read in LCModelComponent._get_chat_result in a call to to_lc_message. A detailed stacktrace:
