CVE-2026-0770 is a critical-severity Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere (CWE-829) vulnerability in Langflow Langflow. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Supply Chain Compromise (T1195); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as LLM Application Platforms; in the LLM/Generative AI Risks risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SR-4 (Provenance) and SR-11 (Component Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-0770 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Langflow stemming from inclusion of functionality from an untrusted control sphere. The flaw resides in the validate endpoint's handling of the exec_globals parameter and permits unauthenticated attackers to supply an external resource that results in arbitrary code execution with root privileges. The issue carries a CVSS 3.0 base score of 9.8 and is tracked under CWE-829; it was originally reported as ZDI-CAN-27325.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted request to the validate endpoint that references attacker-controlled content via the exec_globals parameter. Successful exploitation grants code execution in the context of the root user on the affected Langflow installation without requiring any user interaction or prior authentication.
The sole reference points to the Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-26-036, which documents the vulnerability and is the authoritative source for any vendor-supplied fixes or workarounds.
EPSS for the CVE reached a peak of 0.1465 after disclosure before settling at the current value of 0.1201, indicating a clear rise in predicted exploitation interest following public release.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires documented, valid provenance for components, preventing acceptance of code from outside the trusted sphere.
Implements detection and prevention of counterfeit or inauthentic components before they are integrated.
Establishes processes to identify and address supply-chain weaknesses that would allow untrusted functionality.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Pre-acquisition integrity/authenticity checks directly prevent inclusion of untrusted code.
Supply-chain program directly governs inclusion of third-party executable code.
Contractual requirements can mandate trusted sources and integrity checks for included functionality.
Supplier risk assessment explicitly covers risks from their products and libraries.
Critical-supplier assessment reduces risk of importing executable functionality from untrusted parties.
Secure SDLC practices include dependency vetting and trusted-source policies.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
By requiring suppliers to propagate security requirements and to disclose component provenance, the control limits the inclusion of functionality obtained from untrusted third-party sources without oversight.
Blocking domains that serve malware or untrusted scripts prevents the browser from automatically including functionality from an attacker-controlled source.
