CVE-2026-28677
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 · uneditedOpenSift is an AI study tool that sifts through large datasets using semantic search and generative AI. Prior to version 1.6.3-alpha, the URL ingest pipeline accepted user-controlled remote URLs with incomplete destination restrictions. Although private/local host checks existed, missing restrictions for credentialed URLs, non-standard ports, and cross-host redirects left SSRF-class abuse paths in non-localhost deployments. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.3-alpha.
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 analysisThe server can be induced to make requests to a URL an attacker controls, turning it into a proxy into internal networks and cloud metadata services. It's especially dangerous behind a trusted network boundary. The fix is strict allow-listing of destinations and blocking access to internal address ranges.

1.6.3-alpha
- 1. Identify the current installed version of OpenSift by checking the application documentation or configuration files
- 2. Backup the current installation and any associated data to prevent data loss during upgrade
- 3. Consult the official OpenSift release notes for version 1.6.3-alpha to understand upgrade procedures specific to your deployment
- 4. Upgrade to version 1.6.3-alpha or later by following the standard upgrade process for your installation method (e.g., package manager, Docker container, or source installation)
- 5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version matches 1.6.3-alpha or later
- 6. Test the URL ingest pipeline functionality to ensure the fix is working correctly
