CVE-2026-92362: ag-ui-protocol ag-ui resource exhaustion in SSE frame parser

CVE-2026-92362 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-09-16

AG-UI is a protocol and library used to integrate AI agents into frontend applications. The SSE (Server-Sent Events) frame parser in the Rust SDK has an unbounded buffering vulnerability that allows a remote server to cause memory exhaustion by sending oversized frames or using CRLF line terminators per the SSE specification, leading to denial of service.

Technologies: Ag-Ui-Protocol Ag-Ui. Vendors: Ag-Ui-Protocol.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in crates/ag-ui-client/src/sse.rs, where the SSE frame parser implements unbounded buffering without per-frame or total-size limits (CWE-400). The parser only recognizes LF-style line termination and fails to handle CRLF or lone CR characters as line endings, which are permitted by the SSE specification. When a remote endpoint sends frames with CRLF terminators or oversized payloads, the parser accumulates bytes indefinitely in its buffer, exhausting available memory. The attack requires only network connectivity to a server controlled by the attacker or a compromised endpoint; no authentication or user interaction is needed. A fix is pending acceptance in a pull request.
