How to Fix CVE-2025-0868

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Docsgpt dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

docsgpt fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install docsgpt@Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls docsgpt

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-0868, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls docsgpt

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Docsgpt in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls docsgpt command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-95: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection'), where the product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. "eval"). In Docsgpt, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability, that could result in Remote Code Execution (RCE), has been found in DocsGPT. Due to improper parsing of JSON data using eval() an unauthorized attacker could send arbitrary Python code to be executed via /api/remote endpoint. This issue affects DocsGPT: from 0.8.1 through 0.12.0.
