9.9 CRITICAL

Network-reachable unauthenticated endpoint with no complexity; scope changes to C because arbitrary filesystem writes can compromise OS-level components outside the application's security boundary.

DescriptionCVE.org

gpt-crawler through 1.5.1 fails to validate the outputFileName parameter in the POST /crawl endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files to any filesystem path. Attackers can supply absolute paths or parent-directory segments to overwrite existing files with content sourced from attacker-controlled URLs.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file write in BuilderIO gpt-crawler through 1.5.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwrite any file on the server filesystem by supplying absolute paths or path traversal sequences in the unsanitized outputFileName parameter of the POST /crawl endpoint. File content is sourced from attacker-controlled URLs, making this a combined path traversal and server-side fetch primitive capable of depositing web shells, poisoning cron jobs, or corrupting application configs. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network-level access to the POST /crawl endpoint of a running gpt-crawler instance at version 1.5.1 or earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) represents the worst-case accessibility profile: network-reachable, no authentication, no complexity, no user interaction required. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been confirmed from available data; the upstream fix is tracked at GitHub issue #418 (https://github.com/BuilderIO/gpt-crawler/issues/418) and operators should monitor that issue for a patched release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all systems running BuilderIO gpt-crawler 1.5.1 or earlier and disable network access to the POST /crawl endpoint or isolate systems from production networks. …
