## What is CVE-2026-72922?

CVE-2026-72922 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT, published on 11 Aug 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 0.6.70, AutoGPT's autogpt_platform/backend/backend/api/features/integrations/router.py webhook_ingress_generic route selected get_webhook_manager(provider) from the untrusted provider URL segment without verifying webhook.provider, allowing a request to /compass/webhooks/{webhook_id}/ingress to use CompassWebhookManager's inherited no-op BaseWebhooksManager.verify_signature instead of GenericWebhooksManager.verify_signature, bypass X-Webhook-Secret for a configured secret_token, and execute a generic webhook graph as its owner. This issue is fixed in version 0.6.70.

Weakness: CWE-287 (Improper Authentication)

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.
