Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description
Summary
LanceDocChatAgent uses pandas eval() through compute_from_docs():
https://github.com/langroid/langroid/blob/18667ec7e971efc242505196f6518eb19a0abc1c/langroid/vector_store/base.py#L136-L150
As a result, an attacker may be able to make the agent run malicious commands through QueryPlan.dataframe_calc compromising the host system.
Fix
Langroid 0.53.15 sanitizes input to the affected function by default to tackle the most common attack vectors, and added several warnings about the risky behavior in the project documentation.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for langroid, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update langroid to 0.53.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-22c2-9gwg-mj59 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
