CVE-2026-33233 — AutoGPT Platform: Remote Code Execution via Unsafe Pickle Deserialization of Redis Cache Entries
AutoGPT is a workflow automation platform for creating, deploying, and managing continuous artificial intelligence agents. In versions 0.6.34 through 0.6.51, the backend deserializes Redis cache bytes using pickle.loads without integrity/authenticity checks. The write path serializes values with pickle.dumps(...) into Redis and the read path blindly invokes pickle.loads(...) on bytes with no HMAC/signature or strict schema validation gating deserialization. If an attacker can poison a shared-cache key in Redis, arbitrary command execution is possible in the backend container context, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This issue has been fixed in version 0.6.52.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.5% (30-day exploitation probability)+7
- Technical severity (high)+6
- CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Significant-Gravitas AutoGPT).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (injection), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-33233 is "AutoGPT Platform: Remote Code Execution via Unsafe Pickle Deserialization of Redis Cache Entries", rated High. It affects AutoGPT (Significant-Gravitas); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 7.6 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.54% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
