CVE-2025-32394
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Prior to 0.6.32, there is a DoS vulnerability in AITextSummarizerBlock. Malicious users can amplify their input. For example, if a malicious user inputs 10K of content, the server will consume 50G of memory, eventually causing memory resources to be exhausted, resulting in DoS. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.32.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAutoGPT versions prior to 0.6.32 contain a Denial of Service vulnerability in the AITextSummarizerBlock component where malicious input amplification causes severe memory exhaustion - as demonstrated by 10KB of input consuming 50GB of server memory.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed AutoGPT versionLocate the AutoGPT installation directory and check the version file or package metadata (common locations include version.py, __init__.py, pyproject.toml, or package.json depending on installation method)Affected if The version number is lower than 0.6.32 (e.g., 0.6.31, 0.6.0, etc.)
-
Confirm AITextSummarizerBlock component is presentSearch the codebase for the AITextSummarizerBlock class or module definition - look in source files containing 'summarizer' or 'AITextSummarizerBlock' in the plugin or block directoriesAffected if The AITextSummarizerBlock component exists in the installation and is not patched or removed
-
Check if summarization features are enabledInspect the configuration files or runtime settings that enable or disable AI text processing blocks, particularly summarization functionalityAffected if The summarization feature is active or can be invoked through the application interface or API
-
Monitor memory behavior with test inputIf the component is present and enabled, test the summarization function with a modest input size (a few KB) while monitoring system memory consumptionAffected if Memory consumption grows disproportionately to input size (e.g., a 10KB input causes multi-GB memory usage)
You are affected if AutoGPT version is below 0.6.32 and the AITextSummarizerBlock summarization feature is accessible and exhibits abnormal memory amplification when processing text inputs.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to AutoGPT version 0.6.32 or later which contains the fix. Consider implementing input size limits or validation as a defense-in-depth measure.
0.6.32
- 1. Check the current installed version of AutoGPT by running: pip show autogpt or checking your project's version file
- 2. If the version is below 0.6.32, backup your current installation and any custom configurations
- 3. Upgrade AutoGPT to version 0.6.32 or later using: pip install --upgrade autogpt>=0.6.32 or follow your project's specific upgrade procedure
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by running: pip show autogpt and confirming the version number
- 5. Test that the AITextSummarizerBlock functionality works correctly with the new version
