CVE-2026-9205: Langflow Weak Fernet Key Derivation via random.seed()

Attack on AI2 Disclosed vulnerabilityInfrastructure vulnerabilityData leak

Langflow uses a non-cryptographic pseudo-random number generator seeded with the SECRET_KEY to derive credential encryption keys. When short secrets are used, the derived key is reproducible, allowing an attacker to decrypt stored credentials if the secret is obtained.

disclosed CVENo confirmed exploitation, so this record is tracked as a disclosed vulnerability and not counted as an incident. It moves into the counts if CISA or the vendor confirms exploitation. Why
