CVE-2026-107287 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-08

Pydantic AI is a framework for building AI agents. When the local web-fetching tool processes attacker-controlled HTML with deeply nested elements, it consumes excessive CPU and memory during conversion to Markdown, potentially causing application slowdown or denial of service. The vulnerability only affects applications using the local web-fetch tool; external web fetching is not impacted.

## Technical details

The HTML-to-Markdown conversion algorithm reprocesses accumulated text at each nesting level, causing quadratic complexity and memory expansion with nested block elements. The response-body size limit applies only to downloaded bytes, while the returned-content limit is applied post-conversion, leaving the conversion process itself unconstrained. Exploitation requires an agent to fetch the attacker-controlled HTML page; no authentication or special privileges are needed.
