CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-33232 — AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents

High CVSS 7.5

AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Versions 0.4.2 through 0.6.51 are vulnerable to an unauthenticated Denial of Service (DoS) through the server due to uncontrolled disk space consumption. The download_agent_file endpoint creates persistent temporary files for every request but fails to delete them after they are served. An unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly call this endpoint to exhaust the server's disk space, causing the database or other system services to fail due to "No space left on device" errors, rendering the entire AutoGPT Platform backend unavailable to all users. This issue has been patched in version 0.6.52.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
