CVE-2025-32422: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Prior to 0.6.63, `StepThroughItemsBlock` can iterate all the contents in a list and send them to `FileStoreBlock` for downloading one by one. Although `FileStoreBlock` has access time limits for downloading files, `StepThroughItemsBlock` can be used to slowly iterate and download relatively small files (e.g., 100M) multiple times. `StepThroughItemsBlock` does not limit the number of loops. In addition, `FileStoreBlock` does not limit the amount of disk space consumed in the current working directory. When a malicious user chooses to download too many videos, the disk space will eventually run out, causing a DoS. Version 0.6.63 patches the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
AutoGPT versions before 0.6.63 contain a vulnerability (CWE-400) where the StepThroughItemsBlock component can repeatedly iterate through a list of files and send them to FileStoreBlock for downloading without limiting the number of iterations. Although FileStoreBlock enforces access time limits for downloads, it does not restrict disk space consumption. Consequently, a malicious user can cause the system to consume excessive disk space by downloading many relatively small files multiple times, leading to a denial of service due to disk exhaustion. This issue is fixed in AutoGPT version 0.6.63.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause uncontrolled disk space consumption on the affected system, resulting in denial of service by exhausting available storage. This can disrupt normal operation of AutoGPT and potentially affect other processes on the host due to lack of disk space.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade AutoGPT to version 0.6.63 or later, where this vulnerability is patched. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the vendor advisory, but the description states version 0.6.63 addresses the issue.
