GHSA-gr75-jv2w-4656: LangChain: Path traversal and sandbox escape in LangChain file-search middleware and loaders

OSV AI package advisories · observation · Jun 16, 2026 · UTC

## Summary Several LangChain components that resolve filesystem paths or expand search patterns do not consistently confine the *resolved* path to the intended root directory. Affected behaviors include: a file-search agent middleware that validates a starting directory but not the search pattern or the resolved target of matched files, so glob patterns and symlinks can reach files outside the configured root; prompt- and chain/agent-configuration loaders that accept path fields and resolve them without confining the result to a trusted base or rejecting symlink targets; and path-prefix author
