CVE-2026-55405
LangChain4j is a Java library for building LLM-powered applications on the JVM. Prior to 1.2.1-beta8, 1.5.1-beta11, 1.11.8-beta19, and 1.16.3-beta26, the MariaDB and pgvector embedding stores build metadata-filter SQL by string-concatenating filter keys, and in MariaDB string values, directly into the query without adequate escaping. A crafted metadata key in EmbeddingSearchRequest.filter() can break out of its SQL context and inject arbitrary SQL into the statements executed by the stores' search and removeAll(Filter) operations, enabling blind data exfiltration, denial of service via sleep functions, and deletion of arbitrary rows through removeAll(Filter). This issue is fixed in langchain4j-mariadb and langchain4j-pgvector versions 1.2.1-beta8, 1.5.1-beta11, 1.11.8-beta19, and 1.16.3-beta26.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.

Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
