Original description
The description as published by the source.
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Prior to , the POST /api/integrations/webhooks/{webhook_id}/ping endpoint fetches the target webhook by primary key alone without verifying that the webhook belongs to the authenticated user. Any authenticated user can supply an arbitrary webhook_id to confirm webhook existence, leak the webhook's OAuth provider type, and in some cases trigger a ping delivery on behalf of another user. This vulnerability is fixed in .

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'AutoGPT' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
AutoGPTを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /api/integrations/webhooks/{webhook_id}/ping' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /api/integrations/webhooks/{webhook_id}/pingへの異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /api/integrations/webhooks/{webhook_id}/ping on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
