Pydantic AI vulnerabilities

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 1.34.0 until 1.107.4 and 2.28.0, the Agent.to_web() and clai web development chat endpoint has missing request content-type validation. A website visited by a developer can submit a browser-compatible request to a loopback-hosted chat server, causing the served agent to run and execute tools with the privileges and credentials of the local process; client-relayed approval decisions also leave requires_approval=True tools exposed. Binding to localhost does not prevent a browser page from reaching the loopback address. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.4 and 2.28.0.

Pydantic AI from 1.77.0 until 1.107.2 and from 2.24.0 until 2.24.0? Actually: until 1.107.2 and 2.24.0, web_fetch_tool, the WebFetch local fallback, and remote FileUrl media downloads buffer the complete HTTP response body before enforcing content-size controls. An attacker-influenced URL can stream an arbitrarily large response that exhausts process memory and crashes the worker.

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 0.3.4 until 1.107.4 and 2.27.1, OpenTelemetry instrumentation configured with InstrumentationSettings(include_content=False) can export retry prompts outside tool calls in gen_ai.input.messages and pydantic_ai.all_messages. Agents using NativeOutput, PromptedOutput, or output validators on text output can therefore disclose validation feedback, including invalid model values quoted by that feedback, to readers of the telemetry backend. Tool-call retries and deployments that do not use include_content=False are not affected by this specific path. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.4 and 2.27.1.

Pydantic AI from 1.34.0 until 1.107.5 and from 2.24.0 until 2.30.0, the Agent.to_web() and clai web development chat server does not validate the Host header, allowing a website visited by a developer to use DNS rebinding to reach a loopback-hosted agent as a same-origin service. The hostile page can read the served UI and submit chat requests that execute agent tools with the local process's privileges and credentials.

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 0.3.4 until 1.107.6 and 2.44.0, OpenTelemetry instrumentation configured with InstrumentationSettings(include_content=False) can still export sensitive agent content through exception.message and exception.stacktrace events, error status descriptions, and model_request_parameters containing instructions or the prompted_output_template. The exposed data is available to readers of the configured telemetry backend and can include tool feedback, provider error bodies, runtime instructions, and structured-output templates even though message attributes are redacted. This issue does not grant new access to agent data, and deployments that do not use include_content=False are not affected by the setting bypass. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.6 and 2.44.0.

Pydantic AI from 1.77.0 until 1.107.6 and from 2.24.0 until 2.44.0, the local web_fetch_tool and the WebFetch local fallback process server-controlled responses with quadratic title extraction, whitespace normalization, and ordered-list numbering. An attacker-controlled page of modest size can therefore block the event loop for an extended period, stalling other agent runs and requests, while unsupported codecs or excessive HTML or JSON nesting can abort an individual run.

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 1.56.0 until 1.107.6 and 2.44.0, applications that opt attacker-influenced URLs into local network access through FileUrl with force_download='allow-local' or web_fetch_tool with allow_local_urls=True can bypass the cloud-metadata blocklist by appending an IPv6 zone identifier to an IPv6 metadata address. IPv6Address equality and hashing include the zone identifier, so the blocklist comparison fails even though the network stack ignores the zone on a non-link-local destination and reaches the metadata service, potentially exposing cloud IAM credentials. The opt-in settings are disabled by default, and the issue requires an IPv6-enabled environment. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.6 and 2.44.0.

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 1.77.0 until 1.107.6 and 2.44.0, the local web_fetch_tool and the WebFetch local fallback compare blocked_domains entries with a URL hostname before both values are normalized to the form used by getaddrinfo. An attacker-influenced model can use an equivalent IDNA spelling, non-ASCII label separator, case variation, or trailing root label that resolves to a blocked host but does not match the configured string, causing the application to fetch that host with its own privileges. allowed_domains fails closed for unmatched spellings, and private-IP and cloud-metadata protections remain effective. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.6 and 2.44.0.

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 1.77.0 until 1.107.7 and 2.52.0, the local web_fetch_tool and the WebFetch local fallback can consume excessive CPU and memory during HTML-to-Markdown conversion of attacker-controlled HTML containing deeply nested block elements. Conversion repeatedly reprocesses accumulated text and can greatly expand intermediate output before the returned-content limit is applied, allowing a model-directed fetch to delay other work in the process. Provider-native web fetching is not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.7 and 2.52.0.

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 2.10.0 until 2.53.0, streamed requests made through ConcurrencyLimitedModel or limit_model_concurrency can retain shared concurrency slots because anyio.CapacityLimiter associates an acquired slot with the borrowing task while streaming cleanup can run in a different task. Early stream termination, cancellation, consumer exceptions, or complete stream_text() consumption with debounce_by=0.1 can therefore leave capacity occupied, eventually preventing later requests that share the long-lived limiter from proceeding and causing a denial of service. Agent-level max_concurrency and non-streaming model requests are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 2.53.0.

In Pydantic AI before versions 1.107.1 and 2.5.0, UI adapters (AG-UI and Vercel AI) incorrectly strip unresolved tool calls from message history. A client can cause a registered server tool to run with client-supplied arguments, bypassing the model and its guardrails.

In Pydantic AI before versions 1.106.0 and 2.0.0b6, the UI adapter (e.g., Vercel AI) does not validate UploadedFile references. A client can reference arbitrary files in the model provider or cloud storage account using server-side identity, potentially leading to unauthorized data access.

In Pydantic AI before version 1.99.0, when an application enables force_download='allow-local' for a URL, the cloud metadata blocklist can be bypassed by encoding the metadata IP in IPv6 form (e.g., IPv4-mapped IPv6), potentially exposing cloud IAM short-term credentials.

In versions 1.56.0 through 1.101.0 and 2.0.0b1 and 2.0.0b2 of the Pydantic AI framework, the cloud metadata blocklist could be bypassed by encoding the metadata IP in an IPv6 transition form, leading to the exposure of short-term IAM credentials in the cloud. The previous fix did not decode all IPv6 transition forms, resulting in a security vulnerability.

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in Pydantic AI's URL download functionality from version 0.0.26 to before 1.56.0. Attackers can include malicious URLs in message history, causing the server to make HTTP requests to internal network resources.

In Pydantic AI versions 1.34.0 through 1.50.0, a path traversal vulnerability in the web UI allows an attacker to craft a malicious URL that fetches and executes arbitrary JavaScript from an external source on the same CDN instead of the legitimate chat UI package. This affects applications using Agent.to_web or clai web to serve a chat interface.
