Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Auto-GPT是Significant Gravitas开源的一个人工智能软件代理程序。 Auto-GPT 0.4.3之前版本存在代码注入漏洞，该漏洞源于位于存储库根目录中的 docker-compose.yml 文件将自身安装到 docker 容器中，且没有写保护，如果通过和命令执行恶意自定义 python 代码，它可以覆盖 docker-compose.yml 文件并在下次 Auto-GPT 启动时来获得对主机系统的控制。

Vulnerability Title
Docker escape in Auto-GPT when running from docker-compose.yml included in git repo
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. Running Auto-GPT version prior to 0.4.3 by cloning the git repo and executing `docker compose run auto-gpt` in the repo root uses a different docker-compose.yml file from the one suggested in the official docker set up instructions. The docker-compose.yml file located in the repo root mounts itself into the docker container without write protection. This means that if malicious custom python code is executed via the `execute_python_file` and `execute_python_code` commands, it can overwrite the docker-compose.yml file and abuse it to gain control of the host system the next time Auto-GPT is started. The issue has been patched in version 0.4.3.
