Impact
The Auto-GPT command line UI makes heavy use of color-coded print statements to signify different types of system messages to the user, including messages that are crucial for the user to review and control which commands should be executed.
Before v0.4.3 it was possible for a malicious external resource (such as a website browsed by Auto-GPT) to cause misleading messages to be printed to the console by getting the LLM to regurgitate JSON encoded ANSI escape sequences (\u001b[). These escape sequences were JSON decoded and printed to the console as part of the model's "thinking process".
Patches
The issue has been patched through PR #4810, and the patch was included in release v0.4.3.
