SCA: security update for langchain-core (GHSA-5chr-fjjv-38qv)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421187

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability in langchain-core versions >=0.1.17,<0.1.53, >=0.2.0,<0.2.43, and >=0.3.0,<0.3.15 allows
 unauthorized users to read arbitrary files from the host file system. The issue arises from the ability to
 create langchain_core.prompts.ImagePromptTemplate's (and by extension
 langchain_core.prompts.ChatPromptTemplate's) with input variables that can read any user-specified path
 from the server file system. If the outputs of these prompt templates are exposed to the user, either
 directly or through downstream model outputs, it can lead to the exposure of sensitive information.
 (CVE-2024-10940)
