CVE-2026-48782 — Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI

Medium CVSS 6.8

Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building applications and workflows with Generative AI. In versions 1.56.0 through 1.101.0, 2.0.0b1, and 2.0.0b2, the cloud-metadata blocklist could be bypassed by encoding the metadata IP in an IPv6 transition form that the previous fix, CVE-2026-46678, did not decode, exposing cloud IAM short-term credentials. The previous remediation decoded only IPv4-mapped IPv6, 6to4, and the NAT64 well-known prefix, so the metadata guarantee did not hold for the remaining transition forms: IPv4-compatible IPv6 (::a.b.c.d), the NAT64 RFC 8215 local-use prefix (64:ff9b:1::/48), operator-chosen NAT64 prefixes, and ISATAP. The IPv6 wrapper is then delivered to the underlying IPv4 metadata endpoint. This occurs when an application using Pydantic AI opts a URL into force_download='allow-local' (which disables the default block on private/internal IPs) and runs on a network that actually routes the affected IPv6 transition forms: NAT64-configured networks (IPv6-only or dual-stack-with-NAT64 deployments, including some Kubernetes setups) for the NAT64 variants, or networks with an ISATAP tunnel for ISATAP. A standard dual-stack cloud VM or container does n…

Matched remediation archetype

Server-side request forgery and unintended proxying

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory server-side URL fetchers, webhooks, importers, previews, redirects, proxies, and protocol handlers reachable from untrusted input.
  • Map egress paths to internal services, metadata endpoints, loopback, private address space, and privileged control planes.
  • Review DNS resolution, redirect, proxy, credential-forwarding, and URL parsing behavior without requesting sensitive targets.

Remediate safely

  • Replace arbitrary destinations with named integrations or a strict allowlist of schemes, hosts, ports, and paths.
  • Resolve and validate every destination and redirect hop, then enforce egress policy independently of application checks.
  • Remove ambient credentials and sensitive headers from fetchers; apply response size, time, and content limits.
