Missing Authentication for Critical Function

Published Sep 18, 2026 · corrected/updated Sep 18, 2026 · HKUDS AutoAgent · evidence confidence very high

AutoAgent contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the TCP server that binds to all interfaces and executes attacker-supplied commands as root. Attackers can connect to the exposed communication port and execute arbitrary bash commands within the container, gaining access to bind-mounted host workspace directories. VulnCheck canary evidence.
