Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
Directory Traversal in OpenCTI 3.3.1 Allows Arbitrary File Read

Publication date: 2026-01-30

Last updated on: 2026-02-13

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
OpenCTI 3.3.1 is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack via the static/css endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files from the filesystem by sending crafted GET requests with path traversal sequences (e.g., '../') in the URL. For example, requesting /static/css//../../../../../../../../etc/passwd returns the contents of /etc/passwd. This vulnerability was discovered by Raif Berkay Dincel and confirmed on Linux Mint and Windows 10.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

OpenCTI 3.3.1 has a directory traversal vulnerability in its static/css endpoint. This means an unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted GET requests containing path traversal sequences like '../' to access arbitrary files on the server's filesystem. For example, an attacker can retrieve sensitive files such as /etc/passwd by exploiting this flaw.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability allows an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server without authentication, potentially exposing sensitive information such as system configuration files, user data, or credentials. This can lead to information disclosure and further exploitation of the affected system.
