Description
MISP contains a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the workflow module interface. Parameter names returned by the misp-modules service are rendered as raw HTML form labels on the workflow module page without output encoding. An attacker who can influence the parameter names reported by the misp-modules service can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript that executes in the context of an authenticated MISP user's browser.

Preconditions:

- The attacker must be able to control or influence parameter names reported by the misp-modules service.

- A victim must be authenticated and view the affected workflow module page.

Impact:

- Execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser session.

- Potential theft of session tokens, manipulation of the MISP interface, or initiation of unauthorized actions on behalf of the victim.

Affected versions: <2.5.48.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a reflected XSS flaw in the MISP workflow module. Parameter names returned by the misp‑modules service are rendered directly as HTML form labels without encoding. An attacker who can influence those parameter names can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript that runs in the browser of any authenticated user who views the affected page. This allows theft of session cookies, manipulation of the MISP interface, or execution of unauthorized actions on behalf of the user.

Affected Systems

The issue affects MISP installations using the workflow module prior to version 2.5.48. Any system that exposes the misp‑modules service to an attacker or accepts untrusted input as parameter names is vulnerable. The vulnerability is specific to the MISP product, as listed by the CNA.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.8, indicating a medium severity risk. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker’s ability to interfere with the misp‑modules service to supply malicious parameter names, plus the presence of an authenticated user who visits the workflow page. Because the attack vector depends on manipulation of an internal service and the need for a victim to be logged in, the likelihood of a widespread attack appears low, though it can be significant if the misp‑modules service is exposed to untrusted input.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The fix applies HTML output encoding (the h() helper) to the parameter name before it is used as a form label, ensuring that any HTML metacharacters in the value are neutralized and rendered as inert text rather than executable markup.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official patch that updates MISP to version 2.5.48 or later.
  • Secure or validate any custom modules that supply parameter names to the misp‑modules service to prevent injection of malicious names.
  • As a temporary measure, restrict access to the misp‑modules service or segment the network to limit an attacker’s ability to influence parameter names.
