Description
An authorization bypass in MISP’s EventsController::importModule() allowed authenticated users or read-only API keys with event view access to persist data to events they were not allowed to modify. When an import module returned results in the misp_standard format, the write path did not verify event modification rights before saving the module output. This could allow a view-only user to inject or alter event data, impacting the integrity of MISP event content. The issue was fixed by enforcing the same modification-rights check used by related module result handling paths before processing misp_standard imports.

Impact

An authorization bypass in MISP's‑only users modify. When an import module returns data in the misp_standard format, the write path does not verify event modification rights before saving, enabling a user with read‑only event view access to inject or alter event content, thus compromising the integrity of MISP event data. This flaw represents a Missing Authorization issue (CWE‑862).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MISP platform (misp:misp). Specific affected versions are not enumerated in the CVE record, so any deployed release prior to the containment commit may be vulnerable. Users of MISP should check view permissions to persist data to events they should not modify. When an import module returns results in misp_standard format, the write path skips the modification‑rights check, allowing a read‑only user to inject or alter event data, thereby compromising the integrity of MISP event content.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of a moderate level of risk. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no publicly documented exploitation yet. The likely attack vector is through authenticated access—any actor with view‑only rights to an event importModule call can exploit the flaw, allowing unauthorized alteration of event data, undermining data integrity and potentially spreading misinformation within MISP. However, no exploits have been reported at the time of this analysis.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MISP to a release that includes commit d0725fc34fda256cc57e5a8f0543cd541033e008, which enforces modification‑rights checks for misp_standard imports
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable read‑onlyModule or restrict them to maintenance modes that prevent writing data
  • Review and tighten API key permissions so that read‑only keys provide only the minimum required access, reducing the risk of accidental privilege escalation
