name: opencti-intel description: > Query the OpenCTI threat intelligence platform for STIX 2.1 data including indicators, vulnerabilities, malware, reports, and attack patterns. Use for threat briefings, CVE lookups, IOC searches, and platform statistics.

OpenCTI Intelligence

Query the OpenCTI threat intelligence platform for structured STIX 2.1 data.

Configuration

Scripts

General query

bash scripts/opencti-query.sh '{ about { version } }'

Executes arbitrary GraphQL query against OpenCTI API. Returns JSON response.

Example output:

{
  "data": {
    "about": {
      "version": "5.12.0"
    }
  }
}

Daily briefing (pre-built)

bash scripts/daily-brief.sh [--since 24h]

Returns recent indicators, vulnerabilities, and reports formatted for briefing consumption.

Platform statistics

bash scripts/platform-stats.sh

Example output:

{
  "connectors": {
    "total": 12,
    "active": 11,
    "failed": 1
  },
  "entities": {
    "indicators": 1423,
    "vulnerabilities": 892,
    "reports": 67
  }
}

Search indicators

bash scripts/opencti-indicators.sh [count]

Returns most recent indicators (IOCs). Default count: 20.

Example:

# Get 50 most recent IOCs
bash scripts/opencti-indicators.sh 50

Search vulnerabilities

bash scripts/opencti-vulns.sh [count] [--min-cvss 7.0]

Returns vulnerabilities, optionally filtered by minimum CVSS score.

Search by keyword

bash scripts/opencti-search.sh "search term"

Full-text search across all STIX entities.

Example:

# Find all entities mentioning Log4j
bash scripts/opencti-search.sh "log4j"

Recent threats

bash scripts/opencti-threats.sh [count]

Returns recent threat actor and campaign data.

Common GraphQL Queries

See references/QUERIES.md for the full query reference.

Quick examples:

Recent reports:

{reports(first:20 orderBy:created_at orderMode:desc){edges{node{name description created_at createdBy{name}}}}}

Recent indicators (IOCs):

{indicators(first:20 orderBy:created_at orderMode:desc){edges{node{name pattern indicator_types valid_from created_at createdBy{name}}}}}

Vulnerabilities by CVSS:

{vulnerabilities(first:10 orderBy:x_opencti_cvss_base_score orderMode:desc){edges{node{name description x_opencti_cvss_base_score created}}}}

Error Handling

All scripts exit with:

• 0 — Success, data returned
• 1 — Authentication failure (invalid or missing OPENCTI_TOKEN)
• 2 — Connection error (OPENCTI_URL unreachable)
• 3 — Query error (invalid GraphQL syntax)
• 4 — Timeout (query took >${OPENCTI_TIMEOUT}s)

Check stderr for detailed error messages.

Examples

Use Case 1: Morning Briefing

# Get overnight threats
bash scripts/daily-brief.sh --since 12h

Use Case 2: Investigating an IP

# Search for IOCs matching specific IP
bash scripts/opencti-search.sh "192.168.1.100"

Use Case 3: CVE Monitoring

# Get all critical CVEs from this month
bash scripts/opencti-vulns.sh 100 --min-cvss 9.0 | jq '.[] | select(.created > "2026-03-01")'

Data Sources

OpenCTI aggregates data from these connectors (as of v2.1):

• Connectors: CISA KEV, MITRE ATT&CK, EPSS, CVE/NVD, ThreatFox, URLhaus, AlienVault OTX, Malware Bazaar
• RSS feeds: 18 security news feeds (Krebs, BleepingComputer, The Record, Unit 42, Securelist, etc.)
• All data normalized to STIX 2.1 with relationships and enrichment
