Cause (Documented platform behavior): Deserialization now checks each constructor class path against an allowlist; the default "core" only permits classes in langchain_core mappings because instantiating arbitrary classes from a manifest is a code-execution/SSRF risk.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Passing allowed_objects='all' for untrusted manifests: the module docstring states 'core' and 'all' are unsafe with untrusted input (constructor kwargs like base_url are honored).
Unknowns:
- First langchain-core release that made core the default
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langchain/1ef23d6b7f6d83508a8cb531feeb88860e4dec40/libs/core/langchain_core/load/load.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Module docstring explains the class-path allowlist and threat model; Reviver raises ValueError naming the disallowed class path and suggesting allowed_objects='all' or an explicit list for trusted integrations.
Search phrasings: langchain loads Deserialization is not allowed allowed_objects; langchain-core load partner ChatOpenAI not allowed; langchain allowed_objects all messages core

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Loading previously serialized LangChain objects (e.g. from LangSmith Hub, caches, checkpoints, dumpd output) fails for anything outside langchain_core.
- Context
- Product: LangChain Component: langchain_core.load.load / loads (Reviver allowlist) Operation: loads(json_str) / load(obj) of a serialized chain, prompt+model, or cached object containing partner classes (e.g. langchain_openai ChatOpenAI) Affected versions: langchain-core versions with the allowed_objects allowlist (default core); introduction version not verified here Environment: unknown Exception: ValueError Packages: langchain-core source checked at 1.6.5 Trigger: Serialized payload contains a class path outside the core allowlist, such as a partner chat model, and load()/loads() is called with the default allowed_objects.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Literal error text
- is not allowed. The default (allowed_objects='core') only permits core langchain-core classes. To allow trusted partner integrations, use allowed_objects='all'.

Proposed fix: [langchain-core load/loads] ValueError "Deserialization of (...) is not allowed. The default (allowed_objects='core') only permits core langchain-core classes" when loading serialized pa
Recommended action: For trusted payloads pass allowed_objects='all' or an explicit list of classes; for untrusted input use allowed_objects='messages' and do not widen the allowlist.
Option: Widen allowed_objects only for trusted payloads [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Loading your own serialized chains that include partner integrations
Steps:
1. loads(s, allowed_objects='all') # or allowed_objects=[ChatOpenAI, ...]
Expected: Object deserializes
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
