Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cybersecurity community has identified a significant vulnerability in AutoGPT, a popular platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous AI agents. The vulnerability, marked as CVE-2025-53944, involves an authorization bypass in AutoGPT’s external API. This flaw could potentially allow malicious actors to compromise systems or leak sensitive data, impacting any organization that uses affected versions of this platform.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-53944
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 7.7)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise and potential data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

AutoGPT | v0.6.15 and below<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability lies in AutoGPT’s external API’s get_graph_execution_results endpoint. While the endpoint correctly validates user access to the graph_id, it does not verify the ownership of the graph_exec_id parameter. This flaw allows authenticated users to access any execution results by providing arbitrary execution IDs.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint, with an arbitrary execution ID:<\/p>\n

GET \/api\/get_graph_execution_results?graph_id=valid_id&graph_exec_id=arbitrary_id HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nAuthorization: Bearer valid_token<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the “valid_id” is a legitimate graph ID the attacker has access to, while “arbitrary_id” is the execution ID the attacker wishes to access, potentially belonging to a different user.<\/p>\n
Recommendation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Affected users are strongly encouraged to update to AutoGPT v0.6.16 or newer, where this vulnerability has been addressed. If immediate patching is not possible, utilising a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor and block suspicious activity can serve as a temporary mitigation strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
