Technical details

The A2AJsonRpcProcessor.ProcessRequestAsync method in the parser component fails to sanitize error messages returned during JSON-RPC request handling. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft malformed requests to trigger parsing errors that leak internal implementation details. The fix in commit ccbd12b sanitizes error messages to prevent this information disclosure.
