Langroid has WAF Bypass Leading to RCE in TableChatAgent
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Vulnerability Description
CVE-2025-46724 fix bypass:
TableChatAgent can call pandas_eval tool to evaluate the expression. There is a WAF in langroid/utils/pandas_utils.py introduced to block code injection CVE-2025-46724. However it can be bypassed due to _literal_ok() returning False instead of raising UnsafeCommandError on invalid input, combined with unrestricted access to dangerous dunder attributes (__init__, __globals__, __builtins__). This allows chaining whitelisted DataFrame methods to leak the eval builtin and execute arbitrary code.
Reproduction & PoC
This payload is used to bypass the waf, when executed, the column name __import__('os').system('ls')#... will be passed to eval
df.add_prefix("__import__('os').system('ls')#").T.groupby(by=df.__init__.__globals__['__builtins__']['eval'])
here is the PoC

Security Impact
Remote Code Execution (RCE) via pandas_eval tool. Attackers can execute arbitrary shell commands through controlled user input.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for langroid. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update langroid to 0.59.32 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x34r-63hx-w57f is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-x34r-63hx-w57f is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-x34r-63hx-w57f. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-x34r-63hx-w57f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-x34r-63hx-w57f across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
