CVE-2026-48121

@langchain/langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb provides a LangGraph.js CheckpointSaver implementation that uses MongoDB for storage. Versions 1.3.0 and below are vulnerable to NoSQL injection: checkpoint identifiers (thread_id, checkpoint_ns, checkpoint_id) from config.configurable are passed into MongoDB find() queries in MongoDBSaver.getTuple() without type enforcement. If an attacker supplies an object payload (such as MongoDB operators $gt or $ne) instead of a string, it can be interpreted as a query operator, bypassing thread scoping and leaking checkpoints, including pending writes, across tenants. Applications are at risk if they forward untrusted input into config.configurable without coercing it to strings or validating it against a schema, particularly in multi-tenant or user-isolated setups. Apps that only use server-issued, string-typed identifiers with schema validation rejecting non-string fields are not affected. This issue has been fixed in version 1.3.1.

Summary

A NoSQL injection vulnerability existed in MongoDBSaver where checkpoint identifier fields from config.configurable were used in MongoDB queries without strict type enforcement. In vulnerable versions, attacker-controlled object payloads (for example MongoDB operators like $gt and $ne) could be interpreted as query operators instead of literal identifier values.

This could bypass intended thread scoping and return checkpoints from other tenants.

Attack surface

The vulnerable path was in MongoDBSaver.getTuple(), where thread_id, checkpoint_ns, and checkpoint_id were used in MongoDB find() queries. The same unvalidated values were then reused to fetch pending writes.

Applications were exposed when untrusted input was forwarded into config.configurable (for example, directly from request bodies or query parameters) without string coercion or schema validation.

Who is affected?

Applications are vulnerable if they:

• Use @langchain/langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb with multi-tenant or user-isolated thread models.
• Accept user-controlled values for thread_id, checkpoint_ns, or checkpoint_id.
• Pass those values into app.invoke(), app.stream(), or direct saver methods without validation.

Applications are generally not vulnerable if they:

• Use server-issued identifiers only.
• Source thread_id from trusted URL params that remain strings.
• Enforce schema validation that rejects non-string identifier fields.

Impact

An attacker with control over configurable checkpoint identifiers could read checkpoint data outside their authorized thread boundary.

Potentially exposed data includes:

• Checkpoint state
• Metadata
• Pending writes

This is a confidentiality issue with cross-tenant data disclosure risk.

Exploit example

An attacker-controlled request can inject MongoDB operators:

graph = new StateGraph(...)
  .compile({
    checkpointer: new MongoDBSaver()
  });

graph.invoke(..., {
  configurable: {  
    "thread_id": { "$gt": "" },
    "checkpoint_ns": { "$ne": null }
  }
});

If this payload is forwarded into config.configurable, the resulting query may match checkpoints outside the intended tenant/thread scope.

Security hardening changes

Version 1.3.1 hardens @langchain/langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb by adding runtime validation for configurable checkpoint identifiers and rejecting invalid values before MongoDB query/write paths execute.

The patch also includes regression tests covering object/operator payloads across affected methods.

Migration guide

Upgrade to @langchain/[email protected] or later.

No API migration is required for valid callers. However, applications that currently pass non-string identifier values in config.configurable will now receive explicit errors and should normalize/validate inputs.

As defense in depth, validate identifier fields at API boundaries and avoid passing raw client objects into graph config.
