Cybersecurity researchers have identified a new campaign that actively exploits a recently revealed critical security flaw in Langflow to deploy the Flodrix botnet malware. According to Trend Micro researchers Aliakbar Zahravi, Ahmed Mohamed Ibrahim, Sunil Bharti, and Shubham Singh in their technical report, attackers are leveraging this vulnerability to execute downloader scripts on compromised Langflow servers, which subsequently retrieve and install the Flodrix malware. This activity involves the exploitation of CVE-2025-3248 (CVSS score: 9.8), a missing authentication vulnerability affecting Langflow, a Python-based visual framework for creating AI applications. Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code through specially crafted HTTP requests. Langflow addressed this flaw with version 1.3.0, released in March 2025. Last month, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) highlighted…
