Description
MISP contains a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the sharing group quick-edit functionality. The addOrg, removeOrg, addServer, and removeServer actions share the __initialiseSGQuickEdit() helper, where the HTTP method validation intended to restrict these operations to POST requests was commented out.

As a result, these state-changing actions could be invoked using GET requests. An attacker could craft a URL targeting one of the affected actions and cause an authenticated MISP user with sufficient privileges to request it, for example through a malicious link or embedded web resource.

Successful exploitation could modify the membership of a MISP sharing group without the victim intentionally performing the operation. Depending on the action performed, an attacker could add or remove organisations or servers from a sharing group, potentially granting unintended access to information distributed through that sharing group or disrupting legitimate information sharing.

The patch restores HTTP method enforcement centrally in __initialiseSGQuickEdit() by calling allowMethod(['post']), ensuring that all four affected quick-edit operations require POST requests and are therefore subject to the application's normal protections for state-changing requests.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from a broken HTTP method check in MISP’s sharing group quick‑edit helper; as a result, state‑changing actions can be triggered by GET requests. An attacker can craft a malicious URL that an authenticated user will follow, causing the user to add or remove organisations or servers from a sharing group without their knowledge. This changes the membership and therefore the data that the group distributes, potentially exposing sensitive information to unintended parties or disrupting legitimate sharing. The weakness is a CSRF flaw (CWE‑352) that permits unauthorized change of data integrity.

Affected Systems

MISP, any installation using the default code base where the shared quick‑edit functionality exists. No specific version is listed; the issue is present in all builds before the official patch that re‑enables POST‑only enforcement in the helper function.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 classifies the vulnerability as high severity. The EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no known exploitation in the wild yet. However, CSRF requirements are satisfied on any Web‑enabled MISP instance, providing an attack surface that an attacker could exploit with an enticing link or embedded resource. Successful exploitation requires an authenticated user with group‑management privileges; the attacker remains a legitimate user but the action performed without consent. The risk is therefore moderate to high for organizations that rely on sharing groups for secure information distribution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MISP to the latest release that restores POST checks for all quick‑edit actions.
  • Confirm that the affected endpoints no longer accept GET requests by reviewing the HTTP method logs or by sending a test GET request and verifying a 405 or similar error.
  • Audit sharing group memberships after applying the patch and monitor for unexpected changes to detect any residual or unpatched instances.
