CVE-2025-32436: AutoGPT has a DoS vulnerability in AddAudioToVideoBlock
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Prior to 0.6.63, `AddAudioToVideoBlock` will download and store the video and audio in a temporary directory without deleting before all noded are done. `StepThroughItemsBlock` can be used to iterate `MediaDurationBlock` multiple times. `StepThroughItemsBlock` does not limit the number of loops. In addition, `AddAudioToVideoBlock` does not limit the amount of disk space consumed in the current working directory and does not delete the video after outputing the result. When a malicious user chooses to screen shot many web pages, the disk space will eventually run out, causing a DoS. Version 0.6.63 patches the issue.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
AutoGPT versions before 0.6.63 can let a low-privileged user exhaust server disk space through media workflow behavior. The result is denial of service: agents or the host may stop working because temporary video and audio files are not adequately cleaned up or bounded.
Executive priority
Treat this as a near-term availability risk for any shared or production AutoGPT deployment. Prioritize upgrade during the next maintenance window, sooner for internet-facing or multi-user agent platforms.
Technical view
The issue affects Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT before 0.6.63. AddAudioToVideoBlock stores downloaded video and audio in a temporary directory and does not adequately delete or limit disk usage. StepThroughItemsBlock can iterate related media processing without loop limits, enabling resource exhaustion. CVSS 4.0 score is 7.1.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely where AutoGPT before 0.6.63 is deployed and users can create or run workflows using the affected media and iteration blocks. Shared automation platforms, hosted agent environments, and disk-constrained workers have higher operational risk.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not cite active exploitation, and the CVE is not marked KEV. Exploitation requires low privileges and no user interaction, with impact focused on availability through disk exhaustion rather than data theft or code execution.
Researcher notes
The root weakness maps to CWE-400: uncontrolled resource consumption. Evidence supports disk-space exhaustion through unbounded looping and incomplete temporary file cleanup. The source bundle names version 0.6.63 as patched but does not provide further exploit telemetry.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade AutoGPT to version 0.6.63 or later.
Review the GitHub advisory for vendor-confirmed remediation details.
Restrict untrusted workflow execution until upgraded.
Monitor worker disk usage and temporary media directories.
Apply operational disk quotas where supported by your deployment platform.
Validation and detection
Inventory AutoGPT deployments and confirm versions are at least 0.6.63.
Identify workflows using AddAudioToVideoBlock, StepThroughItemsBlock, or MediaDurationBlock.
Check recent logs for abnormal media workflow repetition or disk growth.
Confirm temporary media files are cleaned after benign workflow completion.
Verify monitoring alerts cover low disk space on AutoGPT workers.
