CVE-2025-2828
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the RequestsToolkit component of the langchain-community package (specifically, langchain_community.agent_toolkits.openapi.toolkit.RequestsToolkit) in langchain-ai/langchain version 0.0.27. This vulnerability occurs because the toolkit does not enforce restrictions on requests to remote internet addresses, allowing it to also access local addresses. As a result, an attacker could exploit this flaw to perform port scans, access local services, retrieve instance metadata from cloud environments (e.g., Azure, AWS), and interact with servers on the local network. This issue has been fixed in version 0.0.28.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSSRF vulnerability in langchain-community's RequestsToolkit (langchain_community.agent_toolkits.openapi.toolkit.RequestsToolkit) version 0.0.27 allows attackers to bypass restrictions and make requests to local addresses. The toolkit fails to enforce network boundaries, enabling port scanning, access to local services, and retrieval of cloud instance metadata from AWS/Azure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed langchain-community versionRun 'pip show langchain-community' or check your requirements.txt/pipfile.lock for the installed version numberAffected if Version is 0.0.27 or lower (any version below 0.0.28)
-
Verify RequestsToolkit import usageSearch your codebase for 'from langchain_community.agent_toolkits.openapi.toolkit import RequestsToolkit' or 'langchain_community.agent_toolkits.openapi' importsAffected if The vulnerable RequestsToolkit from langchain-community is imported and used in your code
-
Check for HTTP request capabilities in agent configurationsReview any LangChain agent or chain configurations that use the OpenAPI toolkit or make outbound HTTP requestsAffected if Your agents/chains invoke the toolkit to make HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs
-
Inspect runtime environment network accessReview your application logs, proxy configs, or network policies for any unexpected outbound requests to localhost, 127.0.0.1, or internal IP ranges (e.g., 10.x.x.x, 169.254.x.x for metadata)Affected if Your application has made or can make requests to local addresses or cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254)
You are affected if langchain-community version is below 0.0.28 AND your code uses RequestsToolkit to make HTTP requests, especially if the environment has access to local services or cloud metadata endpoints.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped0.0.28
Upgrade langchain-community package to version 0.0.28 or later to patch the vulnerability. Implement network-level controls restricting outbound access from the application to prevent potential SSRF exploitation.
langchain-community version 0.0.28 or later
- Verify the current installed version of langchain or langchain-community by running: pip show langchain-community or pip list | grep langchain
- Upgrade langchain-community to version 0.0.28 or later using: pip install --upgrade langchain-community>=0.0.28
- Alternatively, upgrade the langchain package if that's what's installed: pip install --upgrade langchain>=0.0.28
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking: pip show langchain-community
- Test that the application functions correctly with the updated package
