CVE-2026-78575 IBM CVE debrief
IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5 are vulnerable to a remote authenticated attacker executing arbitrary commands due to improper validation of command-line arguments in the MCP stdio server configuration. This issue poses a significant risk to deployments with remote access. Defenders should assess exposure and prioritize remediation efforts. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute commands, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data breaches. Affected deployments should verify and remediate this vulnerability, especially in environments with remote authenticated access.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for IBM Langflow OSS deployments, especially those with remote authenticated access, should assess exposure and prioritize remediation.
Why it matters
This vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands, posing a significant risk to deployments with remote access. Defenders should prioritize verification, remediation, and compensating controls.
- Potential for arbitrary command execution by remote authenticated attackers
- Need for verification of affected versions and remediation steps
- Importance of restricting remote authenticated access to MCP stdio server
- Requirement for additional validation of command-line arguments
Technical summary
The vulnerability exists in IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.5. Improper validation of command-line arguments in the MCP stdio server configuration allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This issue arises from inadequate input validation, enabling attackers to inject malicious commands. Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating this vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS deployments, especially in environments with remote authenticated access. Implementing additional validation for command-line arguments and access
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating this vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS deployments, especially in environments with remote authenticated access.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify IBM Langflow OSS version and configuration
- Restrict remote authenticated access to MCP stdio server
- Implement additional validation for command-line arguments
Evidence notes
The CVE record and NVD entry provide details on the vulnerability, but additional verification is needed to confirm affected versions and remediation steps.
