Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework for building Generative AI applications. In versions 1.56.0 through 1.98.0, when an application opts a URL into forcedownload='allow-local' (disabling the default block on private/internal IPs), the cloud-metadata blocklist could be bypassed by encoding the metadata IP in an IPv6 transition form (IPv4-mapped IPv6, 6to4, or NAT64), exposing cloud IAM short-term credentials on dual-stack or translated networks. This is an incomplete fix of GHSA-2jrp-274c-jhv3 / CVE-2026-25580, whose remediation did not hold for IPv6-encoded forms of the metadata IPs. An application is affected only if it explicitly opts a FileUrl (ImageUrl, AudioUrl, VideoUrl, DocumentUrl) into forcedownload='allow-local' on a URL influenced by untrusted input; it is not affected when using bundled integrations to ingest user input (Agent.toweb / clai web, VercelAIAdapter, AGUIAdapter / Agent.toagui), since they do not propagate forcedownload from external data, nor when downloading only from developer-controlled URLs. This issue has been fixed in version 1.99.0.
