CVE-2026-30950: AutoGPT has Authenticated Session Hijacking via IDOR

Published May 18, 2026

Updated

AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. Versions 0.6.36 through 0.6.50 are vulnerable to Authenticated Session Hijacking via IDOR. If an authenticated attacker can determine the sessionid of another user's session, they can take it over, reading any messages in it and locking the legitimate user out. The PATCH /sessions/{sessionid}/assign-user endpoint authenticates the caller but never verifies session ownership: the service layer invokes the session lookup with userid=None, which the data access layer interprets as a privileged/system call that bypasses the ownership filter, allowing any authenticated user to reassign an arbitrary session to themselves. This issue has been patched in version 0.6.51.
