FAQ

Questions about CVE-2026-120234

What does this mean?

On any non-2xx HTTP response, the ag-ui HTTP transport reads the entire error body into memory. A single large error body can run the client out of memory, and the attacker-controlled text is passed through onRunFailed into application UIs and logs.Source: github.com

Am I affected, and how do I check?

The affected package is @ag-ui/client, verified against npm release 0.0.58, and the issue applies to versions up to and including 0.0.58. To check a project, look at the installed @ag-ui/client version in package.json or the output of npm ls @ag-ui/client.Source: github.com

What should I do about it?

The checked facts name no fixed version and no workaround, so no upgrade target can be given here. Check the project's advisory or the npm release history for a version newer than 0.0.58.Source: github.com

Is it being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
