# CVE-2025-0868: DocsGPT Allows Remote Code Execution

**Signal:** High exploit likelihood. EPSS ranks it in the top 5% of all CVEs for likely exploitation in the next 30 days. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 17.1% , percentile 97: FIRST’s model estimates a 17.1% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 97% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes docsgpt (npm) >= 0.8.1, <= 0.12.0, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

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.

## Affected packages

- npm `docsgpt` >= 0.8.1, <= 0.12.0 → fixed: none listed

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Arc53 DocsGPT: 0.8.1 <= 0.12.0

## Severity

- CERT-PL CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 17.09% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 97.
