What it is about

LangChain ist ein Open-Source-Framework, das die Entwicklung von Anwendungen mit großen Sprachmodellen (LLMs) erleichtert Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in LangChain ausnutzen, um SSRF-Schutzmaßnahmen zu umgehen und Informationen offenzulegen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • SSRF-Schutzmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • Informationen offenzulegen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Open Source LangChain text-splitters <1.1.2
  • Open Source LangChain openai <1.1.14
  • IBM Business Automation Workflow

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Open Source LangChain text-splitters 1.1.2
  • Open Source LangChain openai 1.1.14

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
