id: CVE-2026-73034

info:
  name: DB-GPT <= 0.8.1 - Arbitrary File Write
  author: iacker
  severity: critical
  description: |
    DB-GPT through 0.8.1 allows unauthenticated arbitrary file writes via a path traversal in the user_id HTTP header of the POST /api/v1/python/file/upload endpoint, letting attackers escape the intended upload directory and write files anywhere, as confirmed by the reflected upload path in the JSON response.
  impact: |
    Arbitrary file write as the DB-GPT process user, which can be escalated to remote code execution by writing to Python startup hooks, cron directories or agent scripts.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade DB-GPT to a version that validates the user_id header and confines the resolved upload path to the python_uploads directory.
