CVE-2024-28088: LangChain directory traversal vulnerability
LangChain through 0.1.10 allows ../ directory traversal by an actor who is able to control the final part of the path parameter in a loadchain call. This bypasses the intended behavior of loading configurations only from the hwchase17/langchain-hub GitHub repository. The outcome can be disclosure of an API key for a large language model online service, or remote code execution.
