| Description | AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. In versions prior to 0.6.52, the Fill Text Template block is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. While the backend implements a SandboxedEnvironment to prevent unauthorized attribute access (e.g., blocking __class__), it fails to limit the computational complexity or execution time of the expressions. An attacker can input computationally expensive Python/Jinja2 expressions that consume the server's CPU and memory, leading to a complete system hang or crash. In multi-tenant or self-hosted environments, this results in a complete service outage and "noisy neighbor" effects that require manual administrative intervention to recover. This issue has been fixed in version 0.6.52. |
