langgraph-api: Incomplete assistant authorization in LangGraph Server run creation
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for langgraph-api. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

langgraph-api
source listed< 0.10.0
## Summary In affected versions of `langgraph-api` (the LangGraph Server runtime), the run-creation path authorized the assistant attached to a run using a different authorization event than the rest of the assistant-handling code paths. Direct assistant reads and cron creation dispatch the `assistants.read` authorization event; run creation dispatched `assistants.search` with an incomplete value. In deployments whose custom authorization handlers register only an `assistants.read` handler (without an `assistants.search` handler and without a global fallback handler), no handler was consulted on the run-creation path, the returned filter set was empty, and the owner constraint was omitted from the resulting query. As a result, in those deployments a request to create a run could reference a private assistant owned by another user, even where direct assistant reads, assistant search, and cron creation against that assistant were correctly denied. The run-creation response merged the referenced assistant's `metadata`, `config`, and `context` into fields returned to the requesting user. These fields can carry sensitive configuration; the runtime encrypts them at rest for that reason
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
