Overview
cognee is a Cognee - is a library for enriching LLM context with a semantic layer for better understanding and reasoning.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the settings endpoint. An attacker can modify the global LLM provider configuration by self-registering an account and sending requests to the endpoint, which lacks proper admin or superuser checks. This allows redirection of all LLM operations to an attacker-controlled endpoint, enabling exfiltration of prompts, uploaded documents, extracted entities, and knowledge graph content from all users.
