LangChain < 0.2.5 Arbitrary File Write

critical Nessus Plugin ID 213566

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of LangChain installed on the remote host is prior to 0.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a path traversal vulnerability which exists in the `getFullPath` method. This vulnerability allows attackers to save files anywhere in the filesystem, overwrite existing text files, read `.txt` files, and delete files. The vulnerability is exploited through the `setFileContent`, `getParsedFile`, and `mdelete` methods, which do not properly sanitize user input.

 Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to LangChain version 0.2.5 or later.
