OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to 7.260701.0, the synchronizerFetch GraphQL query called fetchRemoteStreams after checking only that a remote stream URL used HTTP or HTTPS. The backend did not apply the ingestion deny list or reject private, loopback, and link-local destinations, allowing an authenticated account with the INGESTION capability to make OpenCTI request internal services and cloud metadata endpoints. Returned connection errors could distinguish open HTTP ports, open non-HTTP ports, and closed ports, enabling internal network scanning, while compatible endpoint responses could disclose internal data. This issue is fixed in version 7.260701.0.

OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to 7.260401.0, the OpenCTI GraphQL API exposes a script filter operator in its FilterOperator enum that allows any authenticated user with the KNOWLEDGE capability to pass user-supplied Elasticsearch Painless script values directly into search queries without validation or sanitization, allowing computationally expensive scripts to consume cluster CPU resources and degrade or deny service for all users. This issue is fixed in version 7.260401.0.

OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to 7.260326.0, an authorization bypass vulnerability in OpenCTI allows any authenticated user with KNOWLEDGEKNUPDATE permission to bypass Confidence Level validation and Object Marking restrictions by injecting the synchronized-upsert: true HTTP header, enabling attackers to downgrade confidence levels, remove security markings such as TLP:RED, manipulate relationships, and affect STIX object types including Indicators, ThreatActors, Malware, and Reports. This issue is fixed in version 7.260326.0.

OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Versions prior to 7.260227.0 are vulnerable to XSS in the rendering of email-message observable body data. The content of the body field isn't appropriately sanitized when being rendered. Does require user interaction but could be exploited by someone sharing stix or any of the ingester. This could lead to CSRF and then large scale session theft. Version 7.260227.0 contains a fix.

Summary An organization admin can escalate their privileges by adding a user from a different organization with higher privileges, to their own organization.

Impact Full platform access, access to sensitive or proprietary information.

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 APPADMINEXTERNALLYMANAGED configuration.

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.

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.

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('RaifBerkay')</scRipt> will trigger an alert. This vulnerability was discovered by Raif Berkay Dincel and confirmed on Linux Mint and Windows 10.

OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to version 6.8.3, an open redirect vulnerability exists in the OpenCTI platform's SAML authentication endpoint (/auth/saml/callback). By manipulating the RelayState parameter, an attacker can force the server to issue a 302 redirect to any external URL, enabling phishing, credential theft, and arbitrary site redirection. This issue has been patched in version 6.8.3.

Summary

The regex validation used to prevent Introspection queries can be bypassed by removing the extra whitespace, carriage return, and line feed characters from the query.

Details

GraphQL Queries in OpenCTI can be validated using the secureIntrospectionPlugin.

Impact Bypassing this restriction allows the attacker to gather a wealth of information about the GraphQL endpoint functionality that can be used to perform actions and/or read data without authorization. These queries can also be weaponized to conduct a Denial of Service (DoS) attack if sent repeatedly.
