⚡ A crafty URL could be all it takes to serve malicious JavaScript in your Pydantic AI chat interface! Think of this vulnerability as a sneaky delivery driver who follows an incorrect address to drop off a fraudulent package instead of the legitimate one. One little misstep in the URL means attackers can inject their malicious code right into your application’s context, just like that wrong delivery disrupts your day. If an unsuspecting user clicks the compromised link, they could find themselves at the mercy of attacker-controlled JavaScript. This could lead to the theft of sensitive chat history and other client-side data — an absolutely devastating outcome for privacy and security!
