Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

AstrBot Project v3.5.22 has an arbitrary file read vulnerability in function encodeimagebs64. Since the encodeimagebs64 function defined in entities.py opens the image specified by the user in the request body and returns the image content as a base64-encoded string without checking the legitimacy of the image path, attackers can construct a series of malicious URLs to read any specified file, resulting in sensitive data leakage.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-57697

Advisory: AstrBot has an arbitrary file read vulnerability in function _encode_image_bs64
IDs: CVE-2025-57697, GHSA-vm2f-46xc-5jc3
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-57697 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:35 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.7)
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
- PyPI astrbot: affected <= 3.5.22

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show astrbot`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## 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 astrbot.
- 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.
