Topoteretes Cognee是Topoteretes公司开源的一个开源 AI 记忆平台，它赋予 AI 智能体跨会话的持久长期记忆。 Topoteretes Cognee 1.2.0之前版本存在授权问题漏洞，该漏洞源于访问控制不当，可能导致未经身份验证的攻击者通过自我注册账号并调用settings端点（未执行管理员或超级用户检查）来覆盖全局LLM提供商配置，利用进程级单例配置缓存将所有LLM操作实例范围重定向至攻击者控制的端点，从而窃取所有用户的提示、上传文档、提取实体和知识图谱内容。

Vulnerability Title
Cognee < 1.2.0 Unauthorized LLM Configuration Overwrite via /api/v1/settings
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability 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.
