Exploitation Conditions

Attacker must be able to submit or execute an AutoGPT workflow graph (in default deployments this is the platform's primary, network-exposed capability, hence PR:N in CVSS) and the graph must include StepThroughItemsBlock chained into FileStoreBlock with an attacker-influenced list of downloadable URLs. Limiting factors: the target must be running AutoGPT prior to 0.6.63, the working directory must be on a filesystem without an external quota, and impact severity depends on how much free disk the host has and whether other services share that filesystem. There is no required user interaction and no authentication is mandated by the CVSS vector, though real-world deployments may front the API with their own auth layer.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) is internally consistent: remote, low-complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and impact restricted to availability of the vulnerable system - which matches the description of a disk-exhaustion DoS with no confidentiality or integrity loss. The 8.7 score reflects how easy the abuse is rather than catastrophic impact; in practice severity scales with the deployment model - a multi-tenant or internet-exposed AutoGPT instance accepting attacker-controlled workflows is at meaningful risk, while a single-user local instance is largely self-DoS. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the intelligence inputs, so this is not (yet) confirmed actively exploited - no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Net: a real but bounded availability issue, prioritize for hosted/shared deployments, lower urgency for isolated single-user setups.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with access to submit or trigger an AutoGPT workflow constructs a graph in which StepThroughItemsBlock is fed a large list referencing a moderately sized downloadable file (for example a ~100MB URL the attacker controls), and pipes each item into FileStoreBlock. Because there is no iteration cap and no cumulative disk quota, the loop runs until the host's working-directory filesystem fills, taking AutoGPT and potentially co-located services offline. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the description itself is a step-by-step recipe.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 18, 2026

Denial of service in AutoGPT versions prior to 0.6.63 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust disk space on the host running the workflow automation platform by abusing the StepThroughItemsBlock to repeatedly drive FileStoreBlock downloads. The platform's StepThroughItemsBlock has no loop cap and FileStoreBlock enforces no working-directory disk quota, so an attacker can iteratively download moderately sized files (e.g., 100MB) until storage is exhausted. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-9fr4-9jj9-mhh6 confirms the issue and the fix in 0.6.63.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade AutoGPT to version 0.6.63 or later, which addresses the issue per advisory GHSA-9fr4-9jj9-mhh6 (https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/security/advisories/GHSA-9fr4-9jj9-mhh6). Where immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls include restricting who can create or submit workflows so untrusted users cannot author graphs containing StepThroughItemsBlock+FileStoreBlock chains (trade-off: limits multi-tenant functionality), placing the AutoGPT working directory on a dedicated filesystem or volume with a hard quota so disk exhaustion cannot impact the rest of the host (trade-off: legitimate large workflows may fail), and adding monitoring/alerting on working-directory growth rate plus egress traffic from FileStore downloads to detect abuse early (trade-off: detective rather than preventive). Network-level egress filtering to constrain which URLs FileStoreBlock can reach further reduces the attack surface but may break legitimate agent workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

AutoGPT (cpe:2.3:a:significant-gravitas:autogpt) is a Python-based workflow automation platform that chains together composable 'blocks' to build autonomous AI agent pipelines. Two such blocks interact unsafely here: StepThroughItemsBlock iterates over an arbitrary input list and forwards each element to the next block, and FileStoreBlock retrieves a file from a URL into the current working directory. The root cause maps to CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption): neither block enforces an upper bound - StepThroughItemsBlock has no maximum iteration count, and FileStoreBlock enforces only a per-download time/access window rather than a cumulative disk-space quota. Chained together, they form an unbounded download loop that writes to local storage with no aggregate ceiling.

DescriptionCVE.org

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.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using AutoGPT for workflow automation face critical service disruption risk due to a denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2025-32422, CVSS 8.7) that allows remote attackers to exhaust disk storage without authentication. Unpatched deployments can experience complete automation platform outages. Immediate upgrade to version 0.6.63 or later is essential to restore security posture and prevent operational disruption.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch (AutoGPT 0.6.63 or later). If patching cannot be completed within 7 days: restrict network access to AutoGPT services, enforce OS-level disk quotas to prevent exhaustion, and implement real-time storage alerting to detect anomalous file download patterns.
