What is CVE-2026-6586?

A vulnerability was identified in TransformerOptimus SuperAGI up to 0.0.14. Impacted is the function get_budget/update_budget of the file superagi/controllers/budget.py of the component Budget Endpoint. Such manipulation leads to authorization bypass. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.

Am I affected?

Run the version check that matches your platform:


# Linux
dpkg -s superagi 2>/dev/null | grep -i version
rpm -q superagi 2>/dev/null
superagi --version 2>/dev/null

Compare what you see against the Affected row above (TransformerOptimus SuperAGI 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.6, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.0.9, 0.0.10, 0.0.11, 0.0.12, 0.0.13, 0.0.14). If your build sits inside that range, you are exposed and should patch.

How to fix CVE-2026-6586

The primary fix is to upgrade SuperAGI to the patched build. Use the commands for your platform below; the patched version listed in the vendor advisory is: See vendor advisory.

Ubuntu / Debian


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade superagi
superagi --version 2>/dev/null || dpkg -s superagi | grep -i version

RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / AlmaLinux


sudo dnf upgrade --security superagi -y
rpm -q superagi

SUSE / openSUSE


sudo zypper patch --category security
rpm -q superagi

If you can't patch immediately

If you cannot apply the patched version today, restrict exposure with one of the following runnable controls. None replace the patch.

Network restriction (Linux, nftables)


# Block inbound traffic to the affected service from untrusted networks
sudo nft add table inet filter
sudo nft 'add chain inet filter input { type filter hook input priority 0 ; }'
sudo nft 'add rule inet filter input tcp dport {443, 80} ip saddr != 10.0.0.0/8 drop'
sudo nft list ruleset

Service-level fallback


# If the affected feature is optional, stop the service until the patch is applied
sudo systemctl stop superagi
sudo systemctl disable superagi

How to verify the fix worked


# Linux
superagi --version 2>/dev/null || dpkg -s superagi | grep -i version
rpm -q superagi 2>/dev/null || true

# Windows
winget list | findstr /I "superagi"
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending | Select-Object -First 5

Expected: the reported version is at or above the patched build documented in the advisory. Restart any services that loaded the old library (systemctl restart <service> on Linux, restart the Windows service or reboot when prompted). For network appliances, run show version on the device and confirm the build matches the patched release.

Frequently asked questions

Other vulnerabilities in the same area that are worth patching alongside this one:

Is CVE-2026-6586 actually being exploited?

According to the data sources above, no public confirmation of in-the-wild exploitation at this time. Either way, the fix is the same: apply the vendor patch.

Do I need to reboot after patching?

For OS or kernel updates, yes. For most userland packages a systemctl restart <service> is enough. Any process that loaded the old shared library keeps using it until restarted, so when in doubt, reboot.

What is the CVSS score?

5.3 (medium). Refer to the vendor advisory for the exact vector string.

Where is the official advisory?

See the References section at the bottom of this page; the vendor's URL is the authoritative source for affected builds and patched versions.
