CVE-2026-55237
CWE-87Published: June 18, 2026· Updated: Jun 18, 2026
Official Description
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Versions prior to 0.6.62 have a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in AutoGPT's signup page. The application improperly trusts a URL parameter (`next`), which is passed to `router.push`. An attacker can craft a malicious link that, when opened by an authenticated user, performs a client-side redirect and executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of their browser. This could lead to credential theft, internal network pivoting, and unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim. Version 0.6.62 patches the issue.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-55237 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
