Description
The CSP report endpoint in MISP intended to limit logged CSP reports to 1 KB but incorrectly allowed reports up to 1 MB before truncation. On deployments where the endpoint is reachable by untrusted clients, this could allow attackers to generate excessive log volume and contribute to resource exhaustion or log flooding.

Impact

The CSP report endpoint in MISP intended to limit logged CSP reports to 1 KB but incorrectly allowed reports up to 1 MB before truncation. This mis‑limit means that anyone who can reach the endpoint can use large reports to generate excessive log volume, rapidly exhausting storage and degrading log processing. The result is a denial of service caused by uncontrolled log growth.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MISP platform. No specific affected versions are listed, so any deployment that has the CSP report endpoint exposed to untrusted clients is potentially vulnerable. The required information for an exact version is not provided in the data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates a moderate risk level, and the EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low but not zero exploitation probability. The entry is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector involves unauthenticated HTTP requests directed at the publicly or internally accessible CSP report endpoint. By submitting large CSP reports it yields uncontrolled resource consumption, inflating log size and potentially exhausting disk space or slowing system operations.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the patch from the CNA commit (https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/02932cccab230b295afcaf5aa05e363d30db0ec9) that enforces the correct 1‑KB limit for CSP reports.
  • Restrict access to the CSP report endpoint to trusted networks or authenticated users to prevent untrusted clients from sending large reports.
  • Monitor log sizes and set alerts for sudden growth that may indicate log flooding.
  • Implement input size validation in the CSP report handling logic to reject reports exceeding 1 KB, addressing the CWE‑400 resource‑exhaustion weakness.
