CVE-2026-56663
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 0.6.52, an authenticated user can bypass the SSRF / private-IP protections in SendWebRequestBlock and reach internal network services. _is_ip_blocked() in backend/backend/util/request.py does not normalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses before checking resolved IPs against the blocked IPv4 ranges, and does not block special-use ranges such as 100.64.0.0/10 (CGNAT, RFC 6598). A hostname that resolves to an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address therefore passes validation and the request reaches the embedded internal IPv4 endpoint. This affects all AutoGPT Platform deployments. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.52.
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 confidenceThe vulnerability exists in _is_ip_blocked() within backend/backend/util/request.py. The function fails to normalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (e.g., ::ffff:192.168.1.1) to their IPv4 equivalents before checking against blocked ranges, and also omits blocking the 100.64.0.0/10 (CGNAT) range per RFC 6598. This allows authenticated users to bypass SSRF protections and access internal network services.

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.
-
Check installed AutoGPT versionRun 'git describe --tags' in the repository directory, or inspect pyproject.toml, setup.py, or a version file to determine the current version numberAffected if Version is 0.6.51 or earlier (before the 0.6.52 fix)
-
Locate the _is_ip_blocked functionSearch the codebase for the _is_ip_blocked function definition within SendWebRequestBlock (typically in a blocks or requests module)Affected if Function exists and is being used for SSRF protection checks
-
Inspect IPv4-mapped IPv6 handlingExamine the _is_ip_blocked function source code to see if it normalizes IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (::ffff:x.x.x.x format) to IPv4 before applying blocked range checksAffected if No normalization code for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses is present before the IP range comparison
-
Verify CGNAT range blockingSearch the blocked IP ranges configuration or hardcoded list within the _is_ip_blocked function for the 100.64.0.0/10 CIDR range (RFC 6598)Affected if The 100.64.0.0/10 range is not included in the blocked IP list
Environment is affected if running AutoGPT version 0.6.51 or earlier AND the _is_ip_blocked function lacks IPv4-mapped IPv6 address normalization AND does not block the 100.64.0.0/10 CGNAT range.

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 AutoGPT Platform to version 0.6.52 or later, which implements proper IPv4-mapped IPv6 address normalization and adds blocking for the RFC 6598 special-use range.
0.6.52
- Check current installed version of AutoGPT Platform using the platform's version command or admin interface
- Upgrade AutoGPT Platform to version 0.6.52 or later
- Verify the upgrade was successful by confirming the new version number
- Test that the SendWebRequestBlock properly blocks IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses and special-use ranges like 100.64.0.0/10
