id: CVE-2026-27960

info:
  name: OpenCTI < 6.9.13 - Authentication Bypass via User Impersonation
  author: DhiyaneshDk
  severity: critical
  description: |
    OpenCTI < 6.9.13 allows authentication bypass by supplying a Bearer token set to the admin user's internal_id UUID instead of a valid JWT. The default admin internal_id (88ec0c6a-13ce-5e39-b486-354fe4a7084f) grants full admin access to the GraphQL API, effectively bypassing all authentication.
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can gain full admin access to the OpenCTI GraphQL API, including reading and modifying all threat intelligence data.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade OpenCTI to version 6.9.13 or later.
