SCA: security update for @langchain/core, langchain (GHSA-r399-636x-v7f6)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436485

Description

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

 - LangChain is a framework for building LLM-powered applications. Prior to @langchain/core versions 0.3.80
 and 1.1.8, and prior to langchain versions 0.3.37 and 1.2.3, a serialization injection vulnerability
 exists in LangChain JS's toJSON() method (and subsequently when string-ifying objects using
 JSON.stringify(). The method did not escape objects with 'lc' keys when serializing free-form data in
 kwargs. The 'lc' key is used internally by LangChain to mark serialized objects. When user-controlled data
 contains this key structure, it is treated as a legitimate LangChain object during deserialization rather
 than plain user data. This issue has been patched in @langchain/core versions 0.3.80 and 1.1.8, and
 langchain versions 0.3.37 and 1.2.3 (CVE-2025-68665)
