Title:Sensitive Information Disclosure Due to Insecure XML Parsing in langchain-ai/langchain (CVE-2025-6984)
Description:The langchain-ai/langchain project, specifically the EverNoteLoader component, is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks due to insecure XML parsing. The affected version is 0.3.63. The vulnerability arises from the use of etree.iterparse() without disabling external entity references, which can lead to sensitive information disclosure.
