Details

IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.3 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the MemoryComponent that allows authenticated users to access chat history of other users via session_id collision. The MemoryComponent.retrieve_messages and store_message methods filter on session_id without validating flow_id or user_id ownership, enabling cross-user information disclosure through multiple authenticated API endpoints including /api/v1/run/, /api/v1/responses, and /api/v2/workflow/. This vulnerability only affects multi-user deployments with LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN=False.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-01 15:35 – Updated: 2026-07-02 00:31

Details

A flaw was found in Foreman. This broken access control vulnerability allows an authenticated user with host-edit permissions to retarget an existing lookup value override to a different host. This is achieved by modifying the match field through nested host attributes, effectively bypassing authorisation checks. The consequence is the potential for unauthorised modification of managed host configurations across different organisational and location boundaries.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
