Summary

IBM Langflow OSS versions 1.0.0 through 1.11.2 contain a flaw in SaveToFileComponent where local file paths are built from attacker-controlled input without sufficient sanitization. An authenticated attacker with low privileges, such as a valid API key or user session, can send crafted paths to the /api/v1/run/{flow_id} endpoint, including absolute paths or path traversal sequences, to write or modify files in locations the Langflow process can write to. Successful exploitation may enable further compromise depending on the deployment environment.
