{"id":"CVE-2025-55449","aliases":["GHSA-4m32-cjv7-f425","PYSEC-2026-285"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2025-55449","summary":"AstrBot is vulnerable to RCE with hard-coded JWT signing keys","details":"### Summary\nAstrBot uses a hard-coded JWT signing key, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands by installing a malicious plugin.\n\n### Details\n\nAstrBot uses a [hard-coded JWT signing key](https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/blob/v3.5.16/astrbot/core/__init__.py), which allows attackers to bypass the authentication mechanism. Once bypassed, the attacker can install a Python plugin that will be imported [here](https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/blob/master/astrbot/dashboard/routes/plugin.py), enabling arbitrary command execution on the target host.\n\n### Impact\n\nAll publicly accessible AstrBot instances are vulnerable.\n\nFor more information, please see: [CVE-2025-55449-AstrBot-RCE](https://github.com/Marven11/CVE-2025-55449-AstrBot-RCE)\n\n### Patch\n\nThis vulnerability was first reported on **2025-06-21** and was patched on the **same day** (2025-06-21).\n\nThe vulnerability was publicly disclosed on **2025-11-14**. Prior to public disclosure, monitoring from AstrBot Cloud indicated that fewer than 2% of deployed instances were still running the affected version. Therefore, this disclosure is not expected to have a significant impact on existing active instances.","published":"2026-05-08T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:13.681447471Z","cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"astrbot","fixedVersion":"3.5.18"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/commit/d03e9fb90a0921a1bd10cf480bdacc9aaa246472","label":"AstrBotDevs/AstrBot@d03e9fb"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/55xxx/CVE-2025-55449.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-55449"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/Marven11/CVE-2025-55449-AstrBot-RCE"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/security/advisories/GHSA-4m32-cjv7-f425"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/commit/d03e9fb90a0921a1bd10cf480bdacc9aaa246472"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/releases/tag/v3.5.18"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:13.681447471Z"}}
