🛡️ Security

This release fixes one security issue in ConcurrencyLimitedModel. See the advisory for full details and affected versions.

• GHSA-6fqq-452j-qhrp (high): a streamed request through ConcurrencyLimitedModel or limit_model_concurrency could keep its concurrency slot when the slot was released on a different task than the one that acquired it: after an early exit (the consumer stopped iterating, raised, or was cancelled), and also after fully consuming stream_text() with its default debouncing. Repeated streams could then block every request sharing the limiter. Agent-level max_concurrency and non-streaming requests are not affected. Reported by @lche511. (#9478)

The fix also changes how limiters are shared: a model wrapper now raises UserError when it shares a limiter with the agent making the request or with an enclosing model wrapper, ConcurrencyLimiter.acquire() takes a slot on every call, even on the same task, and a custom AbstractConcurrencyLimiter must allow release() from another task.

Patched in 2.53.0. v1 is not affected.
