CVE-2023-48055
📋 TL;DR
SuperAGI v0.0.13 uses a hardcoded encryption key, making all encrypted data vulnerable to decryption by attackers. This affects anyone using this version of SuperAGI, potentially exposing sensitive information and communications.
💻 Affected Systems
- SuperAGI
📦 What is this software?
Superagi by Superagi
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of all encrypted data including sensitive configurations, API keys, and user communications leading to data breaches and unauthorized access to integrated systems.
Likely Case
Attackers decrypt stored sensitive data and intercept communications, gaining access to confidential information and potentially escalating privileges.
If Mitigated
Limited exposure if encryption is only used for non-sensitive data and proper network segmentation prevents external access.
🎯 Exploit Status
The hardcoded key is publicly documented, making exploitation trivial for anyone with access to encrypted data.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
Upgrade to a version that implements proper key management. Check SuperAGI repository for security updates.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement custom encryption key
allReplace hardcoded key with a securely generated and managed encryption key
# Modify SuperAGI source code to use environment variable for key
# export SUPERAGI_ENCRYPTION_KEY='your-secure-key-here'
Disable vulnerable encryption functions
allTemporarily disable encryption features until proper fix is available
# Comment out or remove encryption function calls in SuperAGI code
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate SuperAGI instances from internet and restrict network access
- Monitor for unusual decryption attempts and review all encrypted data for signs of compromise
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check SuperAGI version and review source code for hardcoded encryption keys in cryptographic functions.Check Version:
# Check SuperAGI version
python -c "import superagi; print(superagi.__version__)"Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that encryption operations now use properly managed keys (environment variables, key management services) instead of hardcoded values.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed decryption attempts
- Unusual access patterns to encrypted data stores
- Log entries showing encryption/decryption operations with unexpected keys
Network Indicators:
- Traffic patterns indicating data exfiltration from SuperAGI instances
- Unencrypted transmission of sensitive data that should be encrypted
