CVE-2024-1879Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote command execution via unprotected instruction API

Published Jun 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 21, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Significant Gravitas AutoGPT 0.5.0 allows remote attackers to execute commands through its instruction API. The instruction-receiving API accepts cross-origin requests without CSRF validation, while the default CORS policy permits arbitrary origins and response reads. Exploitation requires a user running the server on the same local network to visit an attacker-controlled website; submitted instructions execute with the server process privileges.
