CVE-2025-34291
CORS Origin Validation Flaw in Langflow Enables Account Takeover and RCE

Langflow versions up to and including 1.6.9 chain two web-security weaknesses - a permissive CORS configuration (allow_origins='*' with allow_credentials=True) and a refresh-token cookie set with SameSite=None - into account takeover and remote code execution. When an authenticated Langflow user visits an attacker-controlled webpage, the browser silently sends credentialed cross-origin requests that successfully call the refresh endpoint, letting the attacker mint fresh access_token/refresh_token pairs for the victim's session (CWE-346). With those tokens, the attacker can access authenticated endpoints, including Langflow's built-in code-execution functionality, and run arbitrary code for full system compromise. Any Langflow deployment at or below version 1.6.9 is affected, with internet-facing instances most exposed. The flaw is being actively exploited: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-05-21, and EPSS assigns an 83.6% probability of exploitation within 30 days (100th percentile).

Do: Upgrade Langflow to a release newer than 1.6.9 following vendor guidance, and invalidate existing sessions afterward. If patching must wait, correct the CORS configuration (do not combine allow_origins='*' with allow_credentials=True), stop marking the refresh-token cookie SameSite=None, and restrict internet exposure of the instance. Review access logs for refresh-endpoint calls from unexpected origins, rotate tokens and credentials for suspected victims, and follow BOD 22-01 requirements if you are a U.S. federal agency.

CVE-2026-34926
Directory Traversal in Trend Micro Apex One (On-Premise) Server

CVE-2026-34926 is a directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-23) in the on-premise edition of the Trend Micro Apex One endpoint management server. A pre-authenticated local attacker — someone with access to the Apex One server who has already obtained administrative credentials through some other method — can use the traversal to modify a key table on the server, injecting malicious code that the server then deploys to its managed agents. This gives the attacker a delivery channel to run malicious code on the agents managed by the exploited server (CVSS scope changed), which is why the 6.7 CVSS score reflects a local, high-complexity, high-privilege attack path with high confidentiality impact. Only on-premise Apex One deployments are exploitable; the cloud/SaaS edition is not affected by this flaw. The flaw is being actively exploited: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-05-21 (EPSS 12.7%, 96th percentile), though no public proof-of-concept is known and ransomware use has not been confirmed.

Do: Apply Trend Micro's fix for the Apex One on-premise server per the vendor security advisory (exact fixed versions are not stated in the available data — check the bulletin), or, for US federal agencies, satisfy the BOD 22-01/KEV required action of applying vendor mitigations or discontinuing use if mitigations are unavailable. Because exploitation requires administrative credentials obtained by some other method, review privileged accounts on Apex One servers for compromise, check the server's key table for unauthorized modifications, and look for unexpected or anomalous code distributed to managed agents. Ransomware use is unconfirmed but plausible; restrict local and administrative access to the server and monitor agent activity until patched.

Ravie LakshmananMay 22, 2026Vulnerability / Cyber Attack

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added two security flaws impacting Langflow and Trend Micro Apex One to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation.

The vulnerabilities in question are listed below -

  • CVE-2025-34291 (CVSS score: 9.4) - An origin validation error vulnerability in Langflow that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and achieve full system compromise.
  • CVE-2026-34926 (CVSS score: 6.7) - A directory traversal vulnerability in on-premise versions of Trend Micro Apex One that could allow a pre-authenticated local attacker to modify a key table on the server to inject malicious code to deploy to agents on affected installations.

In a report published in December 2025, Obsidian Security said CVE-2025-34291 exploits three combined weaknesses: overly Permissive CORS, lack of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection, and an endpoint that allows code execution by design.

"The impact is severe: successful exploitation not only compromises the Langflow instance but also exposes all sensitive access tokens and API keys stored within the workspace," the company noted at the time. "This can trigger a cascading compromise across all integrated downstream services in cloud and SaaS environments."

The vulnerability has since been exploited by an Iranian state-sponsored hacking group named MuddyWater to obtain initial access to target networks, according to a Ctrl-Alt-Intel analysis published in March 2026.

As for CVE-2026-34926, Trend Micro said it "observed at least one instance of an attempt to actively exploit one of these vulnerabilities in the wild."

"This vulnerability is only exploitable on the on-premise version of Apex One and a potential attacker must have access to the Apex One Server and already obtained administrative credentials to the server via some other method to exploit this vulnerability," it added.

In light of active exploitation, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are required to apply the necessary fixes by June 4, 2026, to secure their networks.
