CVE-2026-55443: LangChain path traversal allows file disclosure outside intended root
Several LangChain components that resolve filesystem paths or expand search patterns failed to confine resolved paths to the intended root directory, so glob patterns, symlinks and prefix-based authorization checks could expose files outside the configured boundary when path values or workspace contents were influenced by untrusted input, including an LLM. Fixed in LangChain 1.3.9.
Disclosed 22 June 2026 · Record updated 13 September 2026
