CVE-2026-58473

CRITICAL

Cognee < 1.2.0 Unauthorized LLM Configuration Overwrite via /api/v1/settings

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

Cognee before 1.2.0 contains an improper access control vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the global LLM provider configuration by self-registering an account and calling the settings endpoint, which performs no admin or superuser check. Attackers can redirect all LLM operations instance-wide to an attacker-controlled endpoint by exploiting the process-wide singleton configuration cache, enabling exfiltration of prompts, uploaded documents, extracted entities, and knowledge graph content from all users.
