CVE-2026-54769: Langroid: Sandbox Escape to Remote Code Execution via Incomplete `eval()` Mitigation in TableChatAgent
Langroid is vulnerable to a critical Sandbox Escape leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in its TableChatAgent and VectorStore capabilities. When these agents evaluate LLM-generated tool messages with full_eval=True, they attempt to sandbox the execution by explicitly setting locals to an empty dictionary {} inside Python’s eval() function. However, this relies on an incomplete understanding of Python’s execution model. Because __builtins__ is not explicitly scrubbed from the globals dictionary mapping, Python implicitly injects all built-ins during execution, granting full access to functions like __import__('os').system(). Since TableChatAgent.pandas_eval() executes external LLM outputs natively, this bypass permits any attacker providing prompt payload to achieve unauthenticated RCE on the host system.
