CVE-2026-5625

Status: DeferredLow (2.1)—

A weakness has been identified in assafelovic gpt-researcher up to 3.4.3. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file gpt_researcher/skills/researcher.py of the component WebSocket Interface. Executing a manipulation of the argument task can lead to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
