Should you act?
Exploited: patch now if you run it
CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- Yes, if you run Langflow Langflow. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-05-05, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-05-26; treat that as the outer limit, not the target. CISA also lists it as known to be used in ransomware campaigns.
- EPSS 100.0%, percentile 100.0: FIRST’s model estimates a 100.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 100.0% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
langflow(PyPI) < 1.3.0, fixed in 1.3.0;langflow-base(PyPI) < 0.3.0, fixed in 0.3.0. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies. - Editorial verdict: Check exposure. Langflow Unauthenticated Code Execution (CVE-2025-3248) — Fixed in March 2025 and exploited in the wild since; if any Langflow below 1.3.0 is reachable from the internet, treat it as compromised, not merely unpatched.
What it is
Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0 are susceptible to code injection in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to execute arbitrary code.
From the GitHub advisory
Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0 are susceptible to code injection in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to execute arbitrary code.
CISA’s summary
Langflow contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint that allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests.
Weakness type: CWE-306, CWE-94.
