Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the Langflow /api/v1/responses endpoint. The application fails to properly validate that the authenticated user requesting a flow execution has the appropriate permissions for the specified flow ID. An attacker with valid credentials can exploit this by submitting a request containing a victim's flow ID, leading to unauthorized execution of arbitrary AI workflows. This vulnerability is classified as CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) and has been addressed in version 1.9.2.
