Summary
CVE-2026-19286 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in IBM Langflow OSS, caused by improper enforcement of security restrictions on the platform’s A2A (Agent-to-Agent) public endpoint. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected instances. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical).
Technical details
- Root cause: Langflow’s A2A public endpoint does not properly enforce security restrictions, permitting attacker-supplied input to be processed in a way that results in code generation/execution (CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code).
- Trigger conditions: The A2A endpoint is reachable without authentication; no special preconditions or user interaction are required to exploit it.
- Attack vector: Network — an attacker sends requests directly to the exposed A2A endpoint over HTTP(S).
- Impact: Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the host running Langflow, with full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Affected software
- IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.1 (inclusive)
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Upgrade Langflow OSS to version 1.11.2 or later, available via PyPI.
- If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict network access to the Langflow instance and its A2A endpoint to trusted internal networks only, and place the application behind an authenticating reverse proxy or VPN until the upgrade can be applied. Continuously monitor exposed Langflow deployments for unexpected process execution or outbound connections.
