CVE-2026-71433

LangGraph Checkpoint Postgres and SQLite Checkpoint are the Postgres and SQLite implementations of LangGraph's checkpoint saver. Prior to 3.1.1, the langgraph-checkpoint-postgres and langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite packages persisted hierarchical namespaces as a dot joined string and scoped reads by matching that string as a simple prefix pattern, so a read scoped to one namespace could also match a sibling namespace whose flattened form shares the same leading characters, or a namespace label containing unescaped pattern metacharacters, allowing an authenticated caller to retrieve stored items belonging to another tenant or user through an ordinary scoped search or list namespaces call, with no crafted input required. This issue is fixed in versions 3.1.1 of langgraph-checkpoint-postgres and langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite.

This issue is fixed in versions 3.1.1 of langgraph-checkpoint-postgres and langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite.

Summary

The Postgres and SQLite stores persist hierarchical namespaces as a dot-joined string (("memories", "alice") becomes memories.alice) and scoped reads by matching that string with LIKE '<path>%'. Because LIKE has no notion of the . separator, a scoped search or list_namespaces also matched sibling namespaces whose flattened form shares leading characters.

Applications commonly use the namespace as a tenant boundary. Where they do, a read scoped to one namespace could return items belonging to another, without any crafted input — an ordinary scoped request was sufficient.

We have no evidence of this behavior being exploited in the wild.

Affected users / systems

You may be affected if you:

• use PostgresStore/AsyncPostgresStore or SqliteStore/AsyncSqliteStore, and
• rely on the namespace to separate data between users or tenants, and
• have namespace labels where one is a prefix of another (1 and 12, alice and alice2), or labels containing _ or %

Applications whose namespace labels are fixed-length identifiers such as UUIDs, containing no _ or %, are not affected — no such label can be a prefix of another. InMemoryStore compares namespaces element-wise and is not affected.

Three distinct cases were possible:

• Sibling namespaces. A read scoped to ("foo",) also returned items under ("foobar",) and ("foo2",).
• Unescaped pattern metacharacters. _ and % are legal namespace labels — only . is rejected — but were interpolated into the match pattern unescaped, so ("user_1",) also matched ("userX1",).
• Suffix conditions. list_namespaces(suffix=("alice",)) also matched the sibling leaf users.malice.

This is not SQL injection. Values were passed as bound parameters and never interpolated into statement text; the bound value was itself a LIKE pattern whose metacharacters were not neutralized.

Impact

• Confidentiality: disclosure of stored items belonging to namespaces outside the caller's intended scope, where namespaces are used as a tenant or user boundary.
• No integrity or availability impact. get, put, and delete compare namespaces with = and were never affected; the issue is limited to read paths.

Patches / mitigation

Prefix scoping now matches the namespace exactly or requires the . separator before any remainder, pattern metacharacters in labels are escaped, and list_namespaces uses segment-aware matching for both prefix and suffix conditions.

On SQLite, the descendant match moved from LIKE to GLOB. LIKE is case-insensitive for ASCII in SQLite, so scoped reads previously matched namespaces differing only in case, while get/put/delete treated them as distinct. Search now agrees with them.

Upgrade to langgraph-checkpoint-postgres 3.1.1 or langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite 3.1.1.

Compatibility

* in a list_namespaces match path now spans exactly one namespace segment. This restores the documented behavior — NamespacePath documents ("cache", "*", "v1") as "any cache category with v1 version" — and matches InMemoryStore. Multi-segment matching was an artifact of translating * into a SQL % wildcard, the same mechanism responsible for this issue, and could not be preserved while fixing it.

Callers relying on the previous behavior can express "match at any depth" by combining both match conditions, which are ANDed:

list_namespaces(prefix=["uid"], suffix=["alice"])

Applications whose namespace labels cannot be prefixes of one another see no behavioral change.

Operational guidance

• Prefer fixed-length namespace labels such as UUIDs, so no label can be a prefix of another.
• Where labels are user-supplied, validate them at the boundary rather than relying on scoping alone.
