Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
OpenCTI is an open source platform for managing cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. Prior to version 6.6.6, an IDOR vulnerability in the GrapQL `NotificationLineNotificationMarkReadMutation` and `NotificationLineNotificationDeleteMutation` mutations of OpenCTI allows an authenticated user to change the read status of a notification or delete a notification of another user in case he has knowledge of the UUID of the notification. When changing the read status of a notification, the user also receives the content of the notification they changed the read status of. Authenticated Users in OpenCTI can read, modify and delete notification of other users if they know the UUID of the notification. Version 6.6.6 fixes the issue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

IDOR vulnerability in OpenCTI's GraphQL API where the NotificationLineNotificationMarkReadMutation and NotificationLineNotificationDeleteMutation mutations lack proper ownership validation, allowing any authenticated user to modify or delete notifications belonging to other users by knowing their UUID. The vulnerability also exposes notification content when changing read status.

MitigationUpgrade OpenCTI to version 6.6.6 or later which implements proper authorization checks on notification mutations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify OpenCTI installation
    Check if OpenCTI is running in your environment by querying running containers, processes, or services listening on common OpenCTI ports (4000 is default GraphQL port)
    Affected if OpenCTI is running and accessible via network
  2. Determine installed OpenCTI version
    Check the OpenCTI version by inspecting the container image tag, docker-compose.yml version field, or querying the GraphQL API /api/system info endpoint for the 'version' field
    Affected if The version is lower than 6.6.6 (e.g., 6.6.5, 6.6.4, etc.)
  3. Confirm GraphQL API accessibility
    Verify the GraphQL endpoint is reachable at /graphql by sending a POST request with a basic introspection query or checking if port 4000 is open
    Affected if The GraphQL API is exposed and accepts authenticated requests
  4. Check notification module usage
    Query the GraphQL API to list notifications using the user token to see if any notifications exist in the system
    Affected if Notifications exist in the system and can be queried via the authenticated API
  5. Test notification mutation authorization (optional manual check)
    If you have access to two test accounts, query notifications to obtain a UUID from another user's notification, then attempt to mark it as read or delete it using the NotificationLineNotificationMarkReadMutation or NotificationLineNotificationDeleteMutation with that UUID
    Affected if The mutation succeeds without returning an authorization error, indicating the vulnerability is present

Your environment is affected if OpenCTI is running with a version lower than 6.6.6 and the GraphQL API is accessible to authenticated users, as they could exploit the IDOR to access or manipulate other users' notifications.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.6.6 or later
Fixed in 6.6.6
Interim mitigation

Upgrade OpenCTI to version 6.6.6 or later which implements proper authorization checks on notification mutations.

Recommended fix High confidence

6.6.6

  1. Identify the current OpenCTI version in use
  2. Plan and schedule an upgrade to version 6.6.6
  3. Follow the official OpenCTI upgrade documentation to update to version 6.6.6
  4. Verify the upgrade by checking the OpenCTI version number after upgrade
