Description
Affected versions of cti-transmute fail to apply comment-level access-control rules when generating evaluation report exports. Although normal comment retrieval filters comments according to conversion visibility, comment privacy, ownership, authorship, and administrative privileges, build_evaluation_report() previously included all evaluation comments without applying those rules.


Consequently, a user who was authorized to view a conversion could export its evaluation report as Markdown or PDF and obtain private evaluation comments that should only have been visible to the conversion owner, the comment author, or an administrator. The leaked report data also contained the comment author's name. The fix passes the requesting user into the report builder and filters every evaluation comment using the shared access.can_see_comment() authorization function.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in cti-transmute allows a user with permission to view a conversion to export its evaluation report in Markdown or PDF format and retrieve evaluation comments that should only be visible to the conversion owner, comment author, or administrators. The export also reveals the comment author's name, thereby leaking private evaluation content. This is an information disclosure flaw rooted in missing enforcement of comment‑level access control during report generation.

Affected Systems

The affected products are versions of MISP’s cti‑transmute module, as identified by the CNA vendor MISP:cti‑transmute. The exact product version range is not supplied in the data, but any release lacking the access control patch is susceptible. Users running these unpatched versions should consider them at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity with a typical attack scenario involving a legitimate user exploiting an authorized action. The EPSS score is not available, so exploit likelihood is unknown, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is a legitimate‑user‑based privilege abuse: a user who can view a conversion can trigger the export and obtain the data. No additional prerequisites or remote code execution paths are indicated.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update to the latest cti‑transmute release that includes the access‑control fix outlined in commit 5dbd19b39a61eab793586731f1a80d8c38907c42.
  • Restrict the ability to export evaluation reports to administrators or users who must not receive private comment data until the patch is deployed.
  • Review and audit logs to detect any unauthorized export of evaluation reports that may have occurred before the patch was applied.
