CVSS critical 9.1

Overview

Description
OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to 6.9.5, the safeEjs.ts file does not properly sanitize EJS templates. Users with the Manage customization capability can run arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the OpenCTI platform process during notifier template execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.9.5.

  1. OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. In versions 6.6.0 through 6.9.12, there is a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to query the API as any existing user, including the default admin account. This issue has been fixed in version 6.9.13. As a workaround, the default admin can be disabled using the `APP__ADMIN__EXTERNALLY_MANAGED` configuration.•CVE-2026-27960
  2. OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to version 6.9.1, the GraphQL mutations "IndividualDeletionDeleteMutation" is intended to allow users to delete individual entity objects respectively. However, it was observed that this mutation can be misused to delete unrelated and sensitive objects such as analyses reports etc. This behavior stems from the lack of validation in the API to ensure that the targeted object is contextually related to the mutation being executed. Version 6.9.1 fixes the issue.•CVE-2026-21886
  3. OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to 6.8.16, the OpenCTI platform’s data ingestion feature accepts user-supplied URLs without validation and uses the Axios HTTP client with its default configuration (allowAbsoluteUrls: true). This allows attackers to craft requests to arbitrary endpoints, including internal services, because Axios will accept and process absolute URLs. This results in a semi-blind SSRF, as responses may not be fully visible but can still impact internal systems. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.8.16.•CVE-2026-21887
  4. OpenCTI 3.3.1 is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack via the /graphql endpoint. An attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code by sending a crafted GET request with a malicious payload in the query string, leading to execution of JavaScript in the victim's browser. For example, a request to /graphql?'"--></style></scRipt><scRipt>alert('Raif_Berkay')</scRipt> will trigger an alert. This vulnerability was discovered by Raif Berkay Dincel and confirmed on Linux Mint and Windows 10.•CVE-2020-37044
  5. OpenCTI 3.3.1 is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack via the static/css endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files from the filesystem by sending crafted GET requests with path traversal sequences (e.g., '../') in the URL. For example, requesting /static/css//../../../../../../../../etc/passwd returns the contents of /etc/passwd. This vulnerability was discovered by Raif Berkay Dincel and confirmed on Linux Mint and Windows 10.•CVE-2020-37041
