Vulnerability in @ai-sdk/provider-utils (CVE-2026-8769)

Summary

Vulnerability in @ai-sdk/provider-utils (CVE-2026-8769). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via createJsonResponseHandler. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.0.1 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Versions of @ai-sdk/provider-utils before 3.0.28, from 4.0.0 before 4.0.33, and from 5.0.0 before 5.0.1 are vulnerable to uncontrolled resource consumption. The createJsonResponseHandler, createJsonErrorResponseHandler, and createStatusCodeErrorResponseHandler functions in packages/provider-utils/src/response-handler.ts read response bodies without a shared size limit, allowing a remote attacker with low privileges to cause excessive memory consumption. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r '@ai-sdk/provider-utils' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で @ai-sdk/provider-utils を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade @ai-sdk/provider-utils to 5.0.1

    ステージング環境で 5.0.1 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
