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.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":9.3},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":9.1},"cwes":["CWE-306","CWE-862"],"references":["https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/commit/d10b1b77e2157c6238fd4d1acb1923a048991699","https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/issues/3084","https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/releases/tag/v1.2.0","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cognee-unauthorized-llm-configuration-overwrite-via-api-v1-settings"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T23:44:34.550481224+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-58473","score":0.00511,"percentile":0.43298,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-49f7-whx5-4256","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-49f7-whx5-4256","summary":"Cognee allows non-superusers to overwrite global LLM configuration","modified":"2026-09-10T12:25:41.712704547Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cognee","purl":"pkg:pypi/cognee","ranges":["<1.5.0"],"fixed":["1.5.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-3816","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-3816","summary":"Cognee allows non-superusers to overwrite global LLM configuration","modified":"2026-09-10T12:15:03.031246070Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"cognee","purl":"pkg:pypi/cognee","ranges":["<1.5.0"],"fixed":["1.5.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
