Internet exposure checklist (both forwarded ports sit behind your HTTPS
proxy — nothing here substitutes for it):
- Proxy: force HTTPS (+ HSTS), and put an extra login (basic-auth or
OIDC) in front of Langflow `:7860`. Langflow has a history of
critical unauthenticated RCEs — treat its UI as privileged tooling,
never share flows publicly ("Shareable Playground" = RCE risk).
- Secrets: all `*_KEY`/`*_TOKEN`/`*_PASSWORD` long and random; rotate
after any incident or staff change; re-run `check_prod.py`.
- Langflow/LFX upgrades (pinned in lockstep): bump `LANGFLOW_VERSION`
(`.env`), `Dockerfile.lfx` ARG, and backend `lfx~=` together, then
`lfx upgrade --upgrade-flow=safe` + `lfx validate --level 4` on
`backend/flows/*.json`. Check Langflow security advisories monthly.
- Backups: `backend/data/` (SQLite) and the `langflow-data` volume.
