"details": "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.",
"details": "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. NOTE (community correction, 2026-07-20): the referenced fix commit d10b1b77e2157c6238fd4d1acb1923a048991699 (PR #3115, merged 2026-06-20 16:59 UTC) was reverted by commit 10971db1b0bd at 2026-06-20 17:05 UTC — six minutes after merge — and v1.2.0 was tagged 2026-06-21, after the revert. The is_superuser access-control guard the fix introduced is therefore absent from the 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3.0, and 1.4.0 release trees and from main/dev HEAD as of 2026-07-19, and no later commit re-lands it. Consequently no released version currently remediates this issue; upgrading to >= 1.2.0 does not fix it. Tracking issue: https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/issues/4146.",
