Code execution via unrestricted checkpoint object revival
Published Jun 16, 2026 · Updated Jun 16, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in LangGraph Checkpoint 4.1.0 and earlier allows attackers with checkpoint-store write access to execute code. The JsonPlusSerializer JSON revival path reconstructs Python objects from stored payloads without restricting revival to the expected constructor operation. Exploitation requires a persistent checkpointer, later checkpoint loading or resumption, and unauthorized modification of bytes at rest; code runs in the worker process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
