Letta vulnerabilities

Letta through 0.16.8 contains an information disclosure vulnerability because LocalSandbox subprocesses inherit the full server environment. Users running tools can read server secrets such as LETTA_PG_URI, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and provider API keys, then access cross-tenant database data.

Letta through 0.16.8 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows API callers to impersonate other users by supplying a self-asserted user_id HTTP header. Attackers can set user_id to another tenant's ID, even with LETTA_SERVER_SECURE enabled, to read and modify that user's agents, memory and configuration.

Letta through 0.16.8 ships a compose.yaml that does not enable LETTA_SERVER_SECURE, so the password middleware is never added and all API routes are unauthenticated, and it exposes a superuser PostgreSQL port with default credentials. Remote attackers can execute arbitrary Python via POST /v1/tools/run, manage /v1/admin users, or run OS commands via COPY PROGRAM.
