CVE-2025-51482: Letta Letta 0.7.12 - Remote Code Execution

id: CVE-2025-51482

info:
  name: Letta Letta 0.7.12 - Remote Code Execution
  author: RaghavArora14
  severity: high
  description: |
    Letta 0.7.12 is vulnerable to remote code execution via POST /v1/tools/run in letta.server.rest_api.routers.v1.tools.run_tool_from_source, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary Python and OS commands via crafted tool source code.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary Python code through crafted tool source code in the /v1/tools/run endpoint, achieving remote code execution.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Letta to a version later than 0.7.12 that properly validates and sandboxes tool source code execution.
