letta-ai vulnerabilities and threats

Letta through 0.16.8 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows users running tools to read server secrets because LocalSandbox subprocesses inherit the full server environment. Attackers can run code via POST /v1/tools/run or custom tools to read LETTA_PG_URI, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and provider API keys, then access cross-tenant database data.

Letta through 0.16.8 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows API callers to impersonate other users by supplying a self-asserted user_id HTTP header. Attackers can set user_id to another tenant's ID, even with LETTA_SERVER_SECURE enabled, to read and modify that user's agents, memory and configuration.

Letta through 0.16.8 ships a compose.yaml that does not enable LETTA_SERVER_SECURE, so the password middleware is never added and all API routes are unauthenticated, and it exposes a superuser PostgreSQL port with default credentials. Remote attackers can execute arbitrary Python via POST /v1/tools/run, manage /v1/admin users, or run OS commands via COPY PROGRAM.

CVE-2026-18990 is a medium severity vulnerability in letta-ai LettaBot version 0.2.0.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without any privileges or user interaction. Public exploit code is available, but no official vendor response or patch has been provided.

A vulnerability was detected in letta-ai letta 0.16.4. This issue affects the function resolve_type of the file letta/functions/ast_parsers.py of the component Incomplete Fix CVE-2025-6101. Performing a manipulation results in improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

A security vulnerability has been detected in letta-ai letta 0.16.4.

Such manipulation of the argument ImageContent leads to server-side request forgery. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in letta-ai letta up to 0.4.1. Affected is the function function_message of the file letta/letta/interface.py. The manipulation of the argument function_name/function_args leads to improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
