Summary

LangChain JS versions of @langchain/core before 0.3.80 and 1.1.8, and of langchain before 0.3.37 and 1.2.3, contain a serialization injection flaw in the toJSON() method and in JSON.stringify() output. The method does not escape objects carrying the internal 'lc' key when serializing free-form kwargs data. User-controlled input containing that key structure is then treated as a legitimate LangChain object during deserialization instead of plain data.

Mitigation

Fixed in @langchain/core 0.3.80 and 1.1.8, and in langchain 0.3.37 and 1.2.3.
