What it is
CVE-2026-9198 is an unauthenticated vulnerability affecting IBM Langflow OSS. IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to chain /api/v1/auto_login (mints SUPERUSER tokens to any network...
Is it exploited?
Yes. KEVIntel sensors observed exploitation attempts with confirmed confidence.
Who is affected?
IBM / Langflow OSS 1.0.0 to <= 1.10.0.
What should we do?
Patch immediately, validate internet-facing exposure, and monitor for matching requests.
Overview
IBM Langflow OSS 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to chain /api/v1/auto_login (mints SUPERUSER tokens to any network caller) with /api/v1/validate/code (executes user code via exec()) to achieve full RCE on default Langflow deployments
