CVE-2026-21887

OpenCTI has a Semi-Blind SSRF via Unvalidated External URL in Data Ingestion Feature

Published Mar 12, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
