CVE-2026-27794
February 25, 2026
LangGraph Checkpoint defines the base interface for LangGraph checkpointers. Prior to version 4.0.0, a Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in LangGraph's caching layer when applications enable cache backends that inherit from "BaseCache" and opt nodes into caching via "CachePolicy". Prior to "langgraph-checkpoint" 4.0.0, "BaseCache" defaults to "JsonPlusSerializer(pickle_fallback=True)". When msgpack serialization fails, cached values can be deserialized via "pickle.loads(...)". Caching is not enabled by default. Applications are affected only when the application explicitly enables a cache backend (for example by passing "cache=..." to "StateGraph.compile(...)" or otherwise configuring a "BaseCache" implementation), one or more nodes opt into caching via "CachePolicy", and the attacker can write to the cache backend (for example a network-accessible Redis instance with weak/no auth, shared cache infrastructure reachable by other tenants/services, or a writable SQLite cache file). An attacker must be able to write attacker-controlled bytes into the cache backend such that the LangGraph process later reads and deserializes them. This typically requires write access to a networked cache (for example a network-accessible Redis instance with weak/no auth or shared cache infrastructure reachable by other tenants/services) or write access to local cache storage (for example a writable SQLite cache file via permissive file permissions or a shared writable volume). Because exploitation requires write access to the cache storage layer, this is a post-compromise / post-access escalation vector. LangGraph Checkpoint 4.0.0 patches the issue.
