DB-GPT vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload with Path Traversal
Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-3xq5-x4fj-rff7 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,166 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure

Description
In eosphoros-ai/db-gpt version v0.6.0, the web API POST /v1/personal/agent/upload is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload with Path Traversal. This vulnerability allows unauthorized attackers to upload arbitrary files to the victim's file system at any location. The impact of this vulnerability includes the potential for remote code execution (RCE) by writing malicious files, such as a malicious __init__.py in the Python's /site-packages/ directory.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for dbgpt, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of dbgpt has shipped for GHSA-3xq5-x4fj-rff7 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-3xq5-x4fj-rff7 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-3xq5-x4fj-rff7. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-3xq5-x4fj-rff7 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-3xq5-x4fj-rff7 across PyPI dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
