{"id":"GHSA-4m32-cjv7-f425","aliases":["CVE-2025-55449","PYSEC-2026-285"],"title":"AstrBot is vulnerable to RCE with hard-coded JWT signing keys","description":"### 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.","severity":"critical","score":9.8,"published":"2025-11-14T21:52:23.000Z","modified":"2026-10-27T15:30:04.675Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"astrbot","ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.5.18"}],"type":"ECOSYSTEM"}],"versions":["3.4.39","3.5.10","3.5.11","3.5.12","3.5.13","3.5.14","3.5.15","3.5.17","3.5.6","3.5.7","3.5.8","3.5.9"],"fixed":["3.5.18"]}],"references":["https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/security/advisories/GHSA-4m32-cjv7-f425","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-55449","https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/commit/d03e9fb90a0921a1bd10cf480bdacc9aaa246472","https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot","https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/releases/tag/v3.5.18","https://github.com/Marven11/CVE-2025-55449-AstrBot-RCE","https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/tree/main/vulns/astrbot/PYSEC-2026-285.yaml","https://pypi.org/project/astrbot"],"sources":[{"name":"OSV","id":"GHSA-4m32-cjv7-f425","modified":"2026-10-27T15:30:04.675896740Z","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-4m32-cjv7-f425"}],"assessments":[{"source":"OSV","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8}]}
