## What is CVE-2025-32422?

CVE-2025-32422 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT, published on 18 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Prior to 0.6.63, `StepThroughItemsBlock` can iterate all the contents in a list and send them to `FileStoreBlock` for downloading one by one. Although `FileStoreBlock` has access time limits for downloading files, `StepThroughItemsBlock` can be used to slowly iterate and download relatively small files (e.g., 100M) multiple times. `StepThroughItemsBlock` does not limit the number of loops. In addition, `FileStoreBlock` does not limit the amount of disk space consumed in the current working directory. When a malicious user chooses to download too many videos, the disk space will eventually run out, causing a DoS. Version 0.6.63 patches the issue.

Weakness: CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption)

Check this codebase for CVE-2025-32422 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-32422 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT, published on 18 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-32422 exists.

Affected product: Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
