CVE-2024-6091Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Prohibited command execution via unnormalized paths

Published Sep 11, 2024 · Updated Sep 11, 2024

OS command injection in Significant Gravitas AutoGPT 0.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute denylisted commands through altered paths. The CodeExecutorComponent compares command paths against shell_denylist entries without canonicalizing redundant segments, so /bin/./whoami evades /bin/whoami. The bypass requires shell execution and denylist mode to be enabled and a workflow to supply a command; it defeats the configured restriction but does not itself create shell reachability.
