MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the SuperAGI application's /resources upload endpoint (superagi/controllers/resources.py Upload function) to be network-accessible to the attacker. No authentication is required (PR:N in CVSS vector). No user interaction needed (UI:N). The vulnerability affects the multipart file upload handler specifically, so any deployment exposing this functionality is vulnerable. Limiting factors: Impact scope (S:U - unchanged) suggests exploitation is confined to resources accessible by the SuperAGI process user account, not full system compromise. Actual file system damage depends on process permissions and operating system file access controls. Deployments running SuperAGI as a low-privilege user with restricted write permissions will limit impact compared to root/administrator execution. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is moderate-high due to the network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and zero authentication requirement (PR:N). The publicly available exploit (GitHub Gist by YLChen-007) significantly lowers the barrier to exploitation - script kiddies can weaponize this without deep technical knowledge. However, CVSS impact ratings of Low/Low/Low (C:L/I:L/A:L) suggest exploitability may be constrained by application context, possibly limited to reading/writing files within the SuperAGI process's permissions or affecting only uploaded resources rather than system-wide files. The CVSS temporal metrics show Exploit Maturity as Proof-of-Concept (E:P) and Remediation Level as Workaround (RL:X - unavailable/unknown), indicating no vendor-provided patch at time of VulDB disclosure. Vendor non-responsiveness is a red flag for unmaintained software risk. Not being in CISA KEV suggests no observed mass exploitation yet, but the combination of unauthenticated network access + public POC + unresponsive vendor creates a ticking clock for opportunistic attacks. Organizations running SuperAGI should treat this as HIGH priority if the application is internet-facing or processes untrusted uploads, MEDIUM priority for internal-only deployments with trusted users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the SuperAGI /resources upload endpoint with a multipart form containing a manipulated 'Name' parameter such as '../../../../etc/passwd' or '../../../app/config/secrets.json'. The vulnerable Upload function in resources.py processes this without sanitization, writing uploaded content to or reading from the traversed path outside the intended upload directory. Attacker could exfiltrate sensitive configuration files, overwrite application code to achieve persistence, or delete critical resources causing denial of service. Public POC exists on GitHub Gist, enabling even low-skill attackers to execute this. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 20, 2026
Path traversal in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI versions up to 0.0.14 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read, write, or delete arbitrary files via manipulated 'Name' parameter in multipart upload requests. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub Gist) demonstrating exploitation. EPSS data unavailable, not currently listed in CISA KEV. CVSS 7.3 reflects network-accessible attack with no authentication barrier, though impact is rated as 'Low' across confidentiality, integrity, and availability - likely indicating file system scope limitations rather than full system compromise.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - vendor did not respond to early disclosure per VulDB report. Immediate compensating controls required: (1) Implement strict input validation for the 'Name' parameter in upload requests, rejecting any filenames containing path traversal sequences (../, ..\ , absolute paths, URL-encoded variants like %2e%2e%2f). Trade-off: May break legitimate use cases requiring nested directory structures in filenames. (2) Configure web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests with path traversal patterns in multipart form data 'Name' fields. Trade-off: Adds latency and potential for false positives. (3) Run SuperAGI process with minimal filesystem permissions, using a dedicated service account restricted to write only within a sandboxed upload directory. Trade-off: Requires infrastructure changes and may complicate deployment. (4) If feasible, disable or restrict network access to the /resources upload endpoint to trusted internal IPs only until a patch is available. Trade-off: Breaks functionality for remote users. Reference the public exploit at https://gist.github.com/YLChen-007/300843c707435540ce0e23bff3e6173a to understand attack patterns for detection rules. Monitor SuperAGI GitHub repository for community-contributed patches or consider forking to implement fix independently.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the Upload function within superagi/controllers/resources.py, specifically the multipart file upload handler. CWE-22 (Path Traversal) indicates improper neutralization of special elements like '../' in file paths. When processing multipart upload requests, the 'Name' argument is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to manipulate the filename parameter to traverse outside intended upload directories. SuperAGI is an autonomous AI agent framework, and this controller likely handles resource uploads for agent workflows. The affected component (CPE cpe:2.3:a:transformeroptimus:superagi) encompasses all versions through 0.0.14, suggesting this is a design flaw in the upload validation logic rather than a regression introduced in a specific version.

Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI up to 0.0.14. Affected by this issue is the function Upload of the file superagi/controllers/resources.py of the component Multipart Upload Handler. This manipulation of the argument Name causes path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Executive ViewAI
TransformerOptimus SuperAGI versions 0.0.14 and earlier contain a path traversal vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read, write, or delete files on affected systems through manipulated upload requests. Organizations running this software face immediate risk of unauthorized data access and potential system interference, requiring urgent inventory and remediation efforts.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to SuperAGI instances to trusted networks only; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block multipart requests with path traversal patterns (../ sequences); deploy file access controls and audit logging on underlying file systems; consider containerization with read-only file systems where feasible; monitor file system activity for unauthorized access patterns.
