Threat & Defense Details
Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Limiting concurrent sessions directly prevents uncontrolled resource consumption by capping the number of active sessions per user or account.
Contingency plan testing includes resource exhaustion scenarios to verify recovery, making it harder for attackers to sustain exploits that cause uncontrolled consumption.
Updated contingency plans include current procedures to detect, contain, and recover from resource exhaustion, limiting an attacker's ability to sustain impact from uncontrolled consumption.
Alternate site allows resumption of operations if resource exhaustion at the primary site is exploited to cause unavailability.
Alternate telecommunications services enable resumption of essential functions when primary services become unavailable due to uncontrolled resource consumption.
Planning and coordination of security activities (scans, tests, maintenance) directly imposes scheduling and throttling that prevents those activities from producing uncontrolled resource consumption.
Performance metrics and monitoring inherently track resource consumption patterns, making uncontrolled consumption easier to detect and mitigate.
Terminating idle connections bounds resource consumption that would otherwise allow uncontrolled accumulation of open sessions.
NVD Description
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Versions 0.4.2 through 0.6.51 are vulnerable to an unauthenticated Denial of Service (DoS) through the server due to uncontrolled disk space consumption. The download_agent_file endpoint…

creates persistent temporary files for every request but fails to delete them after they are served. An unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly call this endpoint to exhaust the server's disk space, causing the database or other system services to fail due to "No space left on device" errors, rendering the entire AutoGPT Platform backend unavailable to all users. This issue has been patched in version 0.6.52.
