Description
CTI-Transmute contains an uncontrolled resource-consumption vulnerability in the unauthenticated /activity_timeline endpoint. The endpoint accepts a user-controlled days query parameter that was not restricted to a reasonable range.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker could submit an excessively large value for this parameter, causing the application to retrieve and process activity data over an arbitrarily large period. This could consume excessive database, CPU, or memory resources, delay the processing of concurrent requests, or trigger an internal server error. Repeated requests could further degrade the availability of the CTI-Transmute website.

The vulnerability is corrected by clamping the requested timeline range to a minimum of one day and a maximum of 1,095 days.

AI Analysis

Impact

CTI-Transmute contains an uncontrolled resource‑consumption flaw in its /activity_timeline endpoint. The endpoint accepts a days parameter that can be set to an arbitrarily large integer, which causes the application to query and process data for an extreme range. This leads to excessive database reads, high CPU and memory usage, and can delay legitimate traffic or raise internal server errors, resulting in a denial of service. The weakness is classified as CWE-770.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects any deployment of CTI-Transmute that exposes the /activity_timeline API. No specific version information is provided, so all releases lacking the patch that clamps the days range to between one and 1,095 days are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 signals high severity. While a current EPSS score is not available, the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication by sending requests with extreme days values. Because it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, there is no public evidence of exploitation yet, but the lack of authentication combined with a high impact makes the risk substantial for publicly accessible instances.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update CTI‑Transmute to a release that includes the patch which enforces the days range limit of 1–1,095 days.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, modify the code or configuration of the /activity_timeline endpoint to enforce the same upper and lower bounds on the days parameter.
  • Apply rate limiting or authentication requirements to the /activity_timeline endpoint to prevent abuse from unauthenticated users.
  • Monitor database, CPU, and memory metrics for anomalous spikes after applying the mitigations.
