GHSA-3644-q5cj-c5c7: LangSmith SDK: Public prompt pull deserializes untrusted manifests without trust boundary warning
Summary
LangSmith SDK (a tool for managing prompts in LangChain applications) had a vulnerability where pulling public prompts by owner/name would deserialize (convert from stored format into executable code) untrusted manifest files without warning users about the trust risk. An attacker could publish a malicious prompt that, when pulled and deserialized, would execute with attacker-controlled settings, potentially redirecting API requests to steal secrets or injecting malicious instructions into the AI's behavior.
Solution / Mitigation
Upgrade to LangSmith SDK Python >= 0.8.0 or JS/TS >= 0.6.0. The updated SDK now blocks pulling public prompts by `owner/name` by default and requires callers to explicitly pass `dangerously_pull_public_prompt=True` (Python) or `dangerouslyPullPublicPrompt: true` (JavaScript/TypeScript) to acknowledge the trust boundary risk. This flag should only be set after reviewing and trusting the actual prompt contents, not just the publishing account.
