restrict_local_file_access confined reads to config_dir, but config_dir IS the storage dir AND holds the server-managed secrets as siblings of the per-flow upload subdirs: secret_key (Fernet master key), private_key.pem / public_key.pem (JWT signing keys), and the SQLite DB (save_db_in_config_dir). A tenant File-component input of "<flow>/../secret_key" routed through build_full_path (no '..' check) resolved back to <config_dir>/secret_key, passed the is_relative_to(config_dir) boundary, and was read -- disclosing the key that decrypts every tenant's stored credentials. The control thus failed its own stated goal under the very multi-tenant mode it adds. enforce_local_file_access now denies the exact config_dir locations of secret_key / private_key.pem / public_key.pem and the sqlite DB derived from database_url (including the -wal / -shm / -journal sidecars that hold the same row data, and the async sqlite+aiosqlite:/// + ?query URL forms), even though they resolve inside the boundary. Matched at exact location only, not by basename, so a tenant upload that merely shares a reserved name inside a flow subdir stays readable. Fails safe on non-sqlite / empty / unavailable settings. Known limitation (tracked separately): this does not scope reads per tenant, so cross-tenant reads of <config_dir>/<other_flow_id>/<file> uploads remain possible and need per-user/per-flow scoping in a follow-up. Tests: reserved file blocked, traversal-to-reserved blocked, DB + WAL/SHM/ journal sidecars blocked, async+query URL blocked, same-named upload in a flow subdir still allowed.
Langflow is a powerful platform for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. It provides developers with both a visual authoring experience and built-in API and MCP servers that turn every workflow into a tool that can be integrated into applications built on any framework or stack. Langflow comes with batteries included and supports all major LLMs, vector databases and a growing library of AI tools.
