## Affected packages

- `pydantic-ai` (PyPI): affected `>=1.77.0, <1.107.2 || >=2.0.0b1, <2.24.0`; fixed in `1.107.2`, `2.24.0`
- `pydantic-ai-slim` (PyPI): affected `>=1.77.0, <1.107.2 || >=2.0.0b1, <2.24.0`; fixed in `1.107.2`, `2.24.0`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Pydantic AI (pydantic-ai and pydantic-ai-slim) versions 1.77.0 up to 1.107.2 and 2.0.0b1 up to 2.24.0 are affected. An attacker who can send untrusted prompts to an application that exposes the local web-fetch tool, or who can influence large FileUrl downloads, can make it fetch a URL that streams a very large response, exhausting memory and crashing the process. Upgrade to pydantic-ai 2.24.0 or pydantic-ai 1.107.2, or the matching pydantic-ai-slim version. The patched versions cap downloads at 50 MiB by default.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-v2xh-2vp8-57h8>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
