Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Prior to 0.6.32, there is a DoS vulnerability in ExtractTextInformationBlock. Malicious users can amplify their input. For example, if a malicious user inputs 10K of content, the server will consume 50G of memory, eventually causing memory resources to be exhausted, resulting in DoS. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.32.
AnalysisAI
Memory amplification denial-of-service in AutoGPT's ExtractTextInformationBlock enables authenticated users to exhaust server memory with disproportionately small inputs - a 10KB submission forces approximately 50GB of server-side memory allocation, a 5,000,000:1 amplification ratio. All AutoGPT versions prior to 0.6.32 by Significant-Gravitas are affected. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis; the vendor released a fix in version 0.6.32.
Technical ContextAI
AutoGPT (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:significant-gravitas:autogpt:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an open-source workflow automation platform for constructing and deploying AI agent pipelines. The vulnerability resides in the ExtractTextInformationBlock component, a processing block responsible for parsing or transforming text input, likely through LLM prompt construction, recursive text expansion, or an unbounded parsing operation. CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) identifies the root cause: the component does not enforce any ceiling on memory allocated in proportion to input size, creating a classic resource amplification path. The server-side amplification magnitude (5 million to one) suggests the block performs an operation - such as generating large intermediate data structures, constructing oversized prompts, or performing combinatorial text processing - that scales non-linearly with input length.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to AutoGPT version 0.6.32 or later, which contains the vendor-confirmed fix per advisory GHSA-pppq-xx2w-7jpq at https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/security/advisories/GHSA-pppq-xx2w-7jpq. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict access to AutoGPT workflow creation - particularly the ExtractTextInformationBlock component - to explicitly trusted users only, reducing the authenticated attack surface. Additionally, enforce memory limits on the AutoGPT server process via container cgroup constraints or OS-level ulimits (e.g., limiting the process to 8GB RAM); this will not prevent the DoS but will contain its blast radius and may cause the request to fail rather than crashing the entire host. Placing an API gateway or reverse proxy in front of AutoGPT with input body size limits (e.g., max 100KB per request) can further reduce amplification potential, though the specific expansion trigger is not fully disclosed. Note that memory caps may cause instability in legitimate large-workload scenarios - evaluate against normal usage patterns before applying.
