# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-0868 Advisory: DocsGPT Allows Remote Code Execution IDs: CVE-2025-0868, GHSA-9gff-5v8w-x922 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-0868 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:38 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.3) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm docsgpt: affected >= 0.8.1, <= 0.12.0 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls docsgpt --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## Supported action No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on docsgpt. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9gff-5v8w-x922 (OSV record GHSA-9gff-5v8w-x922 lists affected ranges: npm docsgpt >=0.8.1 <=0.12.0) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9gff-5v8w-x922 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-9gff-5v8w-x922 lists affected ranges: npm docsgpt >=0.8.1 <=0.12.0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
