Five security fixes landed in openai-node overnight, closing unauthenticated proxies, unbounded buffers, and path leaks that could have billed your account or leaked patient data.

OpenAI's Node SDK shipped a coordinated security sweep [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], headlined by a HIGH finding where the Cloudflare ecosystem worker "allowed unauthenticated requests to trigger billed operations and leave five persistent uploaded files" [1]. Streaming is the target: SSE frames and NDJSON lines are now capped at 8 MiB by default before buffering [2], and region injection is rejected before Bedrock builds endpoints or sends bearer tokens [3]. The Python SDK follows with 3.3.1, bumping dependencies with published security fixes and excluding affected Pydantic releases [8] [7], while migrating its build from the unmaintained Rye to uv [6]. On the codex side, CI enables unprivileged user namespaces across all Linux jobs [9], and SQLx warnings no longer feed back into SQLite logs, cleaning up diagnostics [10].
