Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-24977 is a vulnerability found in OpenCTI, a cyber threat intelligence platform, up to version 6.4.10. It stems from a code injection flaw within the web-hook feature, where users with 'manage customizations' privileges can misuse web-hooks. This allows them to execute commands on the underlying infrastructure and gain access to internal server-side secrets. The vulnerability effectively grants a malicious user a root shell inside a container, potentially exposing the entire infrastructure to further attacks. A common setup of OpenCTI involves hosting it in containers, where sensitive secrets are passed via environment variables, making it easier to exploit. OpenCTI version 6.4.11 addresses this vulnerability.

Description: OpenCTI is an open cyber threat intelligence (CTI) platform. Prior to version 6.4.11 any user with the capability `manage customizations` can execute commands on the underlying infrastructure where OpenCTI is hosted and can access internal server side secrets by misusing the web-hooks. Since the malicious user gets a root shell inside a container this opens up the the infrastructure environment for further attacks and exposures. Version 6.4.11 fixes the issue.
