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 · unedited
A security flaw has been discovered in AstrBotDevs AstrBot up to 4.25.5. Affected by this vulnerability is the function _build_handoff_toolset of the file AstrBot/astrbot/core/astr_agent_tool_exec.py of the component Subagent. The manipulation results in incorrect authorization. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The patch is identified as d23011262e8e75e1ec41b0f1f0091493a022327e. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.

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 · low confidence
Developing — this CVE was published recently and its authoritative NVD entry is still being established, so we're holding a technical summary until the source data settles rather than publish something unreliable. Re-checking after 2026-08-10.

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.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest release beyond 4.25.5 (check AstrBotDevs/AstrBot GitHub repository for current stable release)

  1. Identify the affected file: AstrBot/astrbot/core/astr_agent_tool_exec.py
  2. Locate the vulnerable function _build_handoff_toolset in the Subagent component
  3. Apply the patch from commit d23011262e8e75e1ec41b0f1f0091493a022327e to the AstrBot codebase
  4. Verify the patch was applied correctly by reviewing the changes to the _build_handoff_toolset function
  5. Test that the authorization controls in the Subagent component are functioning correctly after the patch
  6. Consider upgrading to the latest AstrBot release (beyond 4.25.5) once available to ensure all security fixes are included
