CVE-2026-8859 PUBLISHED

Path Traversal in APIRequest Component via Content-Disposition Header

Assigner: ibm
Reserved: 18.05.2026 Published: 17.07.2026 Updated: 17.07.2026

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 Langflow could allow an attacker to write arbitrary files to unintended locations due to improper input validation in the APIRequest component. A path traversal vulnerability exists when the "Save to File" feature is enabled, where filenames extracted from HTTP response Content-Disposition headers are not sanitized before being joined to the temporary directory path. An attacker controlling an external HTTP server can supply crafted filename values containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../), enabling arbitrary file writes to locations accessible by the Langflow process.
