Upgrade langchain
to version 0.0.325 or higher.
Overview
langchain is a Building applications with LLMs through composability
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via a crafted script to the PythonAstREPLTool._run
component.
Note:
The vulnerability was mitigated by moving the vulnerable code in the LangChain Experimental
package. Users might still be affected if they are relying on this package.
