- Line 19: Wrap the long policy message constants, including
INITIALIZING_COMPONENT_TEMPLATES_MESSAGE and the corresponding message at line
23, so each source line stays within Ruff’s configured 120-character limit
without changing their text.
- Around line 1042-1043: The packaged-flow exemption currently bypasses
custom-component and code-execution checks for tenant flows dispatched through
RunFlowBaseComponent. Update the scope handling around packaged_flow_is_active()
and RunFlowBaseComponent.get_graph() so the exemption remains limited to the
validated packaged artifact, or is cleared before tenant-flow dispatch; preserve
the catalog policy check. Add synchronous and streaming regressions covering a
tenant flow with a blocked custom component and asserting validation raises.
Affected sites: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/flow_validation.py:1042-1043 requires the
root exemption-scope fix;
src/backend/base/langflow/agentic/services/flow_executor.py:138-174 and :243-279
require the corresponding tenant-dispatch scope handling or test coverage.

I1 — The component-policy exemption is scoped to a time window, not to the artifact

File: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/flow_validation.py:980-988, src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/trusted_flow.py:1-20, src/backend/base/langflow/agentic/services/flow_executor.py:132

Issue: validate_flow_for_current_settings returns before it ever inspects target. Whatever is validated while the ContextVar is set is exempted — the packaged flow, a tenant flow, anything. Meanwhile flow_executor.execute_flow_file holds the marker across the entire run, coordinator.stream included, so the exempt window spans every tool call the agent makes.

The docstring states the opposite, and states it as the security argument:

The marker is bound to the artifact, not to "an assistant request is in flight": the assistant also builds and runs tenant flows (run_working_flow) and its agent carries a FileSystemTool, so a request-scoped bypass would re-open precisely the code-execution and file-read escapes […]

Only the marking is artifact-bound (resolve_flow_path genuinely confines to FLOWS_BASE_PATH — I verified that). The exemption is request-scoped, which is the thing the docstring rules out.

Why it matters: graph/base.py:1867 calls this validator with an explicit comment — "a missed endpoint means arbitrary code execution, so we keep this as a safety net." This PR makes that net conditional on ambient context. Today nothing reaches it inside the window; the near-term risk is concrete rather than theoretical, because flow_graph_build_check.build_check — which calls build_graph_from_data → Graph.from_payload → this validator on tenant canvas data — is already written and imported into agentic/services/flow_validation.py, just not wired yet. Wire it into the per-turn validation loop and the bypass goes live, with no test that would notice.

Suggested fix: Make the exemption depend on the payload rather than on the clock. Two options, both cheap:

1. Preferred — thread it explicitly. Add trusted_packaged: bool = False to validate_flow_for_current_settings and to Graph.from_payload, and have load_graph_for_execution pass it. An ambient flag cannot be inherited by a call it was never meant for.
2. Cheaper — split the window. The two needs have different lifetimes: the component gate only needs relief during load/prepare, while file access needs it during the run (the Directory tool reads at run time). Split into packaged_flow_load_scope() around load + graph.prepare() only, and keep the run-scoped marker exclusively for file_path_security. A tenant Graph.from_payload during the run is then never exempted.

Whichever you pick, add the inverse of the existing containment test — a tenant payload validated inside the marker must still raise. That test is the one currently missing, and it is the one that would have caught this.

I2 — package_resource_root is documented read-only, but the gate it feeds has no read/write distinction

File: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/file_path_security.py:224-238, 289-303

Issue: The docstring says:

Read access is granted for this root ONLY while a packaged first-party flow is active. […] no tenant data, no uploads, and none of the reserved secret/key/DB files

enforce_local_file_access has no read/write parameter. It is the gate for save_file.py:691, which then does file_path.parent.mkdir(...) and writes. So the safety argument reasons entirely about reads while the function it protects also authorizes writes — and a write into site-packages/lfx/components/ is code execution on the next component discovery, strictly worse than any read.

Why it matters — and why it is not exploitable today: I checked the one write caller. SaveFile._get_safe_local_file_name (save_file.py:400-423) rejects absolute paths, drive letters, separators, and .. before the gate is reached, so SaveFile cannot address the package directory regardless of the marker. The containment therefore holds — but it holds because of a second, unrelated guard in one component, not because of anything in this PR. The next caller that passes an operator- or agent-derived absolute path to enforce_local_file_access inherits the exemption with no such guard, and the docstring will tell that author the root is read-only.

Suggested fix: Make the intent explicit rather than documented:

def enforce_local_file_access(resolved_path, *, scope_ids=(), allow_storage_root=False, for_write: bool = False):
    ...
    package_root = package_resource_root() if (packaged_flow_is_active() and not for_write) else None

and pass for_write=True from save_file.py:691. Then the docstring's claim is a property of the code. If you would rather not touch the signature this PR, at minimum correct the docstring to say the exemption covers any access the gate authorizes, and name save_file.py as the reason it is safe today.

I3 — The exemption is broader than the bug it fixes: catalog policy and the code-interpreter block go with it

File: src/lfx/src/lfx/utils/flow_validation.py:988

Issue: The early return sits above all three gates in the function:

if packaged_flow_is_active():
    return
...
validate_catalog_policy_for_flow(normalized_flow_data, snapshot=catalog_policy_snapshot)
if block_code_interpreter_components:
    check_code_execution_components_and_raise(normalized_flow_data)
...
check_flow_and_raise(normalized_flow_data, allow_custom_components=allow_custom_components, ...)

LE-2321 is only about check_flow_and_raise (allow_custom_components=False blocking DataFrameKeywordSearch). The packaged flow now also skips the operator's catalog policy — the explicit per-deployment block list — and the code-interpreter block, which the enterprise image sets to True and which your own fixture faithfully reproduces.

Why it matters: No live impact — the shipped flow's seven nodes are Agent ×2, ChatInput, ChatOutput, Directory, DataFrameKeywordSearch, URLComponent, none of them a code interpreter. But the guarantee is now "this artifact happens to be clean" rather than "these gates still apply". Add a PythonREPL to a future packaged flow and it runs on a deployment whose operator explicitly disabled code interpreters, silently. Note also that test_should_build_the_shipped_flow sets block_code_interpreter_components = True and passes — it cannot distinguish a clean flow from a skipped gate, so the suite will not tell you when that changes.

Suggested fix: Exempt only what the bug requires. Move the check down to the custom-component gate:

validate_catalog_policy_for_flow(normalized_flow_data, snapshot=catalog_policy_snapshot)
if block_code_interpreter_components:
    check_code_execution_components_and_raise(normalized_flow_data)
if packaged_flow_is_active():
    return  # first-party inline nodes have no registered server counterpart
check_flow_and_raise(...)

Then add a test asserting the shipped flow contains no code-interpreter component, so the exemption's blast radius stays where you put it.
