GHSA-V5FF-9Q35-Q26F
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-16 17:35 – Updated: 2026-07-20 13:42Summary
The "Shareable Playground" (or "Public Flows" in code) contains a critical RCE vulnerability. Simply sharing a flow exposes the deployment to RCE risk by authenticated users.
Tested on commit 2d67402b1dbaefcbce85a244d4a6cd5e4bda1cfe
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.
When the route executes the flow, it allows for providing arbitrary custom Python code as the nodes code, inside the JSON payload!
The vulnerable field is data.nodes[X].data.node.template.code.value. See PoC for an example.
PoC
Reproduction:
1. Create a new flow and add a Chat Input node to it
2. Share the flow ("Shareable Playground")
3. Access the public link with the browser developers tools open and execute the flow.
4. Find the /api/v1/build_public_tmp route and copy as cURL
5. Edit the data.nodes[X].data.node.template.code.value JSON field with any python code and run the cURL command.
Example PoC (replace flow ID with the correct one), and download test_with_python.json:
curl 'http://localhost:7860/api/v1/build_public_tmp/<flow-id>/flow?start_component_id=ChatInput-syEJp&log_builds=false&event_delivery=streaming' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-b 'client_id=anything' \
--data-raw "$(cat test_with_python.json)"
Search for touch /tmp/pwned in the test_with_python.json and edit for any other code.
The stacktrace for the code executed is:

- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
