LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. Prior to versions 0.3.81 and 1.2.5, a seriali

LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. Prior to versions 0.3.81 and 1.2.5, a serialization injection vulnerability exists in LangChain's dumps() and dumpd() functions. The functions do not escape dictionaries with 'lc' keys when serializing free-form dictionaries.

The 'lc' key is used internally by LangChain to mark serialized objects. When user-controlled data contains this key structure, it is treated as a legitimate LangChain object during deserialization rather than plain user data. This issue has been patched in versions 0.3.81 and 1.2.5.

SSVC asks the questions that actually drive patch urgency: is it being exploited, can attacks be automated, and how total is the impact.
