Unauthenticated RCE in Langflow /api/v1/validate/code
CVE-2025-3248 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Langflow affecting versions prior to 1.3.0. The flaw is in the /api/v1/validate/code endpoint, which was accessible without authentication and processed attacker-supplied Python code during code validation. According to the provided content, Langflow parsed submitted code with ast.parse(), compiled it, and then used Python exec() in a way that allowed malicious code embedded in decorators, default argument expressions, or other crafted constructs to execute during validation. The issue stems from unsafe execution of untrusted input and insufficient input validation/sandboxing on an unauthenticated endpoint, enabling remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution in the server context via crafted HTTP requests.

This repository is a small standalone exploit PoC consisting of one Python script and one README. The main file, CVE-2025-3248.py, is a command-line exploit that targets a vulnerable web application's POST endpoint at /api/v1/validate/code. It validates a user-supplied base URL, appends the vulnerable path, and sends a JSON body containing a crafted Python payload. The payload imports os and abuses exec() inside a decorator expression to run os.popen() with an operator-controlled system command. The command output is wrapped in an exception so the result is likely reflected in the HTTP response, which the script prints in either text or JSON format. The exploit supports arbitrary command execution, configurable timeout, and verbose logging, making it an operational RCE tool rather than a simple detector. The README mirrors the code behavior, explains usage, gives example commands such as whoami and cat /etc/passwd, and describes the vulnerability as a Python code-injection issue in the same API endpoint. No framework affiliation, persistence, lateral movement, or post-exploitation automation is present; the repository is focused narrowly on single-shot remote command execution against a specific vulnerable API surface.
