langchain-chatchat fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install langchain-chatchat>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show langchain-chatchat

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-7847, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show langchain-chatchat

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Langchain chatchat in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show langchain-chatchat command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values, where the product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers. In Langchain chatchat, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability was found in chatchat-space Langchain-Chatchat up to 0.3.1.3. The affected element is the function _get_file_id of the file libs/chatchat-server/chatchat/server/api_server/openai_routes.py of the component Uploaded File Handler. Performing a manipulation results in insufficiently random values. Access to the local network is required for this attack. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is described as difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
