Critical Langflow Vulnerability (CVE-2025-3248) Actively Exploited to Deliver Flodrix Botnet


This blog details research and analysis of an active campaign that exploits a critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, CVE-2025-3248, that has been identified in Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0. Langflow is a Python-powered visual framework for building AI applications with over 70,000 GitHub stars, and its versions prior to 1.3.0 contains a flaw in its code validation mechanism that permits arbitrary code execution.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by crafting malicious POST requests to the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint. The malicious payload in our investigation was found embedded within argument defaults or decorators of a Python function definition. Since Langflow does not enforce input validation or sandboxing, these payloads are compiled and executed within the server’s context, leading to RCE.
