Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2026-5026 impacting langflow langflow. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 5.4 (MEDIUM).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
The '/api/v1/files/images/{flow_id}/{file_name}' endpoint serves SVG files with the 'image/svg+xml' content type without sanitizing their content. Since SVG files can contain embedded JavaScript, an attacker can upload a malicious SVG that executes arbitrary JavaScript when viewed by other users, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This allows stealing authentication tokens stored in cookies, including JWT access and refresh tokens.
