Description
MISP installation scripts generated an Apache HTTP virtual-host configuration containing an incorrectly formatted HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect:

Redirect permanent / https://misp.example

Apache’s Redirect directive appends any portion of the requested path that follows the matched prefix to the configured destination URL. Because the destination did not end with /, attacker-controlled path content was appended directly to the hostname rather than to its URL path.

For example, a request resembling:

http://misp.example/@attacker.example/

could result in a redirect resembling:

https://misp.example@attacker.example/

Under standard URL parsing, misp.example is interpreted as user information and attacker.example as the destination host. An unauthenticated remote attacker could therefore construct a URL hosted under the legitimate MISP domain that redirects users to an attacker-controlled website.

The vulnerability could be used for phishing, credential collection, or potentially disclosing sensitive query-string information preserved during the redirect. Exploitation requires a user to follow the crafted HTTP URL.

The fix adds the missing trailing slash to the redirect destination, ensuring that appended request data remains part of the path on the configured MISP host.



Existing installationsExisting MISP installations should review their Apache HTTP virtual-host configuration and ensure that the HTTPS redirect destination ends with a trailing slash:

Redirect permanent / https://misp.example/

After updating the configuration, validate it with apachectl configtest and reload or restart Apache for the change to take effect

Impact

The installer-generated Apache configuration incorrectly formats an HTTP‑to‑HTTPS redirect by omitting a trailing slash after the MISP host. When a user follows the redirect, the requested path is appended directly to the destination URL. Because the destination lacks a terminating slash, the appended path is interpreted by browsers as user information and the following segment as a host name, resulting in a URL like https://misp.example@attacker.example/. This redirects users to an attacker‑controlled site, allowing phishing, credential harvesting, or leakage of query‑string data that accompanies the redirect. The flaw is a classic open‑redirect issue (CWE‑601) that only requires an unauthenticated remote user to click a crafted link.

Affected Systems

All MISP installations that employ the default installer and generate Apache virtual‑host configurations contain this redirect. No specific version range is supplied in the advisory; any installation using the affected script should be examined.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 7.8 the vulnerability is considered moderate‑high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, indicating a low probability of exploitation in the wild. It is not presently listed in the KEV catalog. Exploitation requires manual user interaction—an attacker constructs a malicious URL within the legitimate MISP domain, hoping a user clicks it. Successful exploitation can lead to phishing and credential theft without privilege escalation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Apache virtual‑host configuration to include a trailing slash after the HTTPS redirect destination, such as "Redirect permanent / https://misp.example/".
  • Run "apachectl configtest" (or equivalent) to verify the configuration syntax is correct.
  • Reload or restart the Apache service so the new redirect takes effect.
  • Validate that no other Open Redirects exist in publicly reachable URLs of the MISP installation.
