GHSA-x34r-63hx-w57f

Affected Scope

langroid <= 0.59.31

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
