Summary
Langflow from 1.5.0 before 1.10.3 is affected. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration installation endpoint trusts a spoofed X-Forwarded-For header to decide that a request comes from localhost, which bypasses its local-only restriction (CWE-290). An authenticated remote attacker can write or overwrite an MCP client configuration file on the server filesystem.

Description from the CNA
Langflow is a tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. From 1.5.0 until 1.10.3, an IP spoofing vulnerability in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration installation endpoint (POST /api/v1/mcp/project/{project_id}/install) allowed authenticated remote attackers to bypass the "local-only" access restriction. By sending a spoofed X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1 header, an attacker could make the server treat the request as originating from localhost, letting them write/overwrite an MCP client configuration file on the server's filesystem. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.3.
