- Two Langflow flaws score 9.8 and need no account.
- Affected versions run from 1.0.0 through 1.12.8.
- Version 1.13.0 fixes the flaws.
- Back up data first, then upgrade and check exposure.
What happened
Langflow open source software (OSS) builds artificial intelligence (AI) agents and workflows. IBM published a security bulletin on October 28, 2026. It lists four flaws fixed in version 1.13.0. Versions 1.0.0 through 1.12.8 are affected. The fix shipped on October 22, 2026. The Hacker News covered the flaws on November 2, 2026.
The two flaws that need no account
The first flaw is CVE-2026-93680. It scores 9.8 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) 3.1 scale. It is an improper authentication flaw. A remote attacker can bypass security restrictions. No account is needed.
The second flaw is CVE-2026-110186. It also scores 9.8 on the CVSS 3.1 scale. It is an improper control of code generation flaw. An unauthenticated attacker can run code on the server. The path runs through Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool enumeration.
The other two flaws
The third flaw is CVE-2026-110193. It scores 8.8 on the CVSS 3.1 scale. A low privileged authenticated account can abuse the Agentic Assistant. It can make the assistant submit component code. That code runs operating system commands on the server.
The fourth flaw is CVE-2026-110192. It scores 6.5 on the CVSS 3.1 scale. An authenticated attacker can read sensitive information. The source is insufficiently protected credentials.
What is not confirmed
Neither 9.8 flaw is in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The catalog check used here is the October 30, 2026 update. A public Metasploit module cites CVE-2026-93680 for unauthenticated MCP endpoint connection and tool listing only. It does not run code. Do not treat the module as proof of exploitation.
IBM also published 29 other Langflow flaw records on October 29, including CVE-2026-104339, rated 9.8.
What to do
Back up the database, the secret key, and uploaded files first. Install Langflow 1.13.0 with pip using pip install "langflow==1.13.0". Docker users can pull langflowai/langflow:1.13.0. Version 1.13.0 turns automatic login off by default. Prepare existing accounts for password sign in if automatic login was used. Check whether the server was exposed to untrusted networks. Record the old version, the new version, and the patch date.
The governance lesson
An AI tool on a server is part of the system boundary. Its version, its exposure, and its patch state are evidence. An unauthenticated flaw in that tool breaks the boundary claim. A patch note alone is not proof. Proof is the version check after the patch and the exposure record. PolicyCortex helps teams link that proof to requirements.

Next step
Upgrade every Langflow server to 1.13.0, then record proof of the patch.
- Which Langflow versions are affected?
- Versions 1.0.0 through 1.12.8. Version 1.13.0 fixes the flaws.
- Does an attacker need an account?
- No. The two 9.8 flaws need no account at all.
- Is exploitation confirmed in the wild?
- No. Neither 9.8 flaw is in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- What should teams do first?
- Back up data, upgrade to 1.13.0, and record proof of the patch.
