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:

...
This triggers Langflow to feed the file into the LLM as an Image. Reading the files back depends on the specific LLM configuration.
PoC
Reproduction:
- Create a new flow and add a Chat Input node to it
- Share the flow ("Shareable Playground")
- Access the public link with the browser developers tools open and execute the flow.
- Find the
/api/v1/build_public_tmproute and copy as cURL - Edit the
filesJSON field to point to any file.
Impact
Potential file read (local or S3) if shareable playground feature is used.

The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is difficult for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability and may require special conditions. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. The attacker needs the user to perform some action, like clicking a link. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
