BREW-oterm-CVE-2026-107294 — Pydantic AI: Unbounded memory use when downloading remote content via web_fetch or FileUrl

Affected: Homebrew: oterm

### Summary

Several remote-content download paths in Pydantic AI buffered the entire HTTP response body into memory before enforcing any size limit. An application that exposes the local web-fetch tool (`web_fetch_tool`, or the `WebFetch` capability's local fallback) to untrusted prompts can be driven to fetch an attacker-chosen URL that streams a very large body, exhausting process memory and crashing the worker. The same unbounded buffering applied to `FileUrl` media downloads (`ImageUrl`, `DocumentUrl`, `VideoUrl`, `AudioUrl`).

This is an **availability** issue only. SSRF protections (scheme allowlist, private-IP and cloud-metadata blocking) are unaffected; there is no confidentiality or integrity impact.

### Details

The download helpers read the full response body before applying content-size controls, so an existing text-length limit only truncated *after* the whole body was already in memory, and media downloads had no wire-level cap at all. A single large response could grow process memory without bound .

### Who Is Affected

You are affected if your application registers the local web-fetch tool (or relies on the `WebFetch` capability's local fallback) and exposes the agent to untrusted prompts, or if it downloads large remote `FileUrl`s influenced by untrusted input. Applications that only fetch developer-controlled URLs are not exposed to the model-chosen attack path.

### Remediation

Upgrade to `2.24.0` or later (v2) or `1.107.2` or later (v1). Patched versi…

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. From 1.77.0 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; affected media types include ImageUrl, DocumentUrl, VideoUrl, and AudioUrl. SSRF protections remain effective, and the impact is limited to availability. This issue is fixed in versions 1.107.2 and 2.24.0.
