How to Fix GHSA-j659-8xh6-5pq5
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected atomic-agents-stack dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install atomic-agents-stack>=1.1.0
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show atomic-agents-stack
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-j659-8xh6-5pq5, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show atomic-agents-stack
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of atomic-agents-stack in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.0), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show atomic-agents-stack command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

"summary" : "atomic-agents-stack: Parallel helper/delegate batch reserves $0 for models absent from the pricing table, bypassing the cost-cap fan-out guard",
"details" : "`_estimate_batch_cost` (`atomic_agents/agent.py`) looks up the per-model output price with `PRICING.get(model, {})`, returning 0.0 for any model not in the hardcoded pricing table. `_check_batch_reservation` then early-returns when the reservation is <= 0, skipping the batch reservation entirely. That reservation is the only defense against the documented fan-out race where every parallel helper/delegate reads the identical pre-batch on-disk cost total and each passes its individual check even though the collective spend overruns the configured cap.\n\n**Impact:** an operator running any model not in the pricing table (self-hosted/Ollama/vLLM, a new provider SKU) with `cost_guardrails` + `daily_cap_usd` set believes the cap protects them, but a single parallel batch can blow past the cap. The parallel-helper `model` argument can also be steered to an unknown id. The sibling `dream._estimate_dream_cost` does this correctly (`PRICING.get(model, _fallback_pricing())`), which makes this a clear defect.\n\n**Affected:** `agent.py` (`_estimate_batch_cost` / `_check_batch_reservation`), all versions through 1.0.0.\n\n**Fix:** use `PRICING.get(model, _costs._fallback_pricing())['output']` (mirror dream/calc_cost). Add a conformance test asserting an unknown-model batch reserves > 0 and that an over-cap unknown-model batch raises `CostGuardrailBlocked`.",
