Authenticated code execution via evaluated function arguments
Published Jun 16, 2025 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Code injection in Letta 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute Python code through crafted function messages. The function_message routine in letta/letta/interface.py extracts function_args from messages beginning with “Running” and passes that string directly to eval() for several recognized function names. Exploitation requires control of a qualifying message and reaches code execution with the privileges of the Letta process.
