CVE-2026-104873: CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization in langchain-ai langgraph
CVE-2026-104873 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the langgraph Python SDK versions from 0.1.45 up to but not including 0.4.4. The issue arises because certain resource-scoped authorization decorators ignore the actions argument and register handlers for every action on a resource. This allows an authenticated user to bypass fallback action, ownership, or permission checks and potentially read, update, or delete resources belonging to other users. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.4.4.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The langgraph Python SDK uses resource-scoped authorization decorators (@auth.on.threads, @auth.on.assistants, and @auth.on.crons) to control access to resources. Between versions 0.1.45 and 0.4.4, these decorators ignore the 'actions' argument and register the handler for all actions on the resource. Because this wildcard handler is selected before broader fallback handlers, an authenticated user can bypass fallback action, ownership, or permission checks, leading to unauthorized access to other users' resources. Deployments remain protected if the selected handler enforces all required checks independently. The issue is resolved in version 0.4.4.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with limited privileges may bypass intended authorization controls and perform unauthorized read, update, or delete operations on resources owned by other users. This can lead to unauthorized data access and modification within affected deployments using the vulnerable decorators without additional enforcement.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade langgraph SDK to version 0.4.4 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. Deployments that do not use the affected decorators or that enforce all required permission checks within the selected handlers are not vulnerable. No other mitigation is specified.
