Description
The MISP blocklist workflow module accepted a user-supplied blocklist filename parameter without validating the file extension. The only sanitization applied was basename() to strip path components and a check for empty or dot values. A site administrator could specify a filename with an arbitrary extension that would be placed in the MISP export directory. If the underlying web server is configured to interpret and execute scripts from that directory, the resulting file could be invoked, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the web server process.

The vulnerability requires the attacker to hold site-administrator privileges within MISP, as the blocklist workflow module is restricted to that role. No additional user interaction is required beyond triggering the workflow action with a crafted filename parameter. The impact is full compromise of the MISP server's confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as arbitrary script execution grants the attacker the same privileges as the web server user.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MISP blocklist workflow module accepts a user-supplied blocklist filename without checking the extension, allowing an attacker with site‑administrator rights to upload files with arbitrary extensions into the export directory. If the web server interprets files in that directory as scripts, the attacker can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server process, leading to full compromise of the MISP installation’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

Vulnerable MISP installations running any version prior to 2.5.47 are affected. The flaw exists in the blocklist workflow module within MISP itself; no external product is required.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.6, indicating high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector requires site‑administrator privileges within MISP and does not need additional user interaction beyond triggering the workflow action with a crafted filename. Once exploited, the attacker gains the same privileges as the web server, effectively executing arbitrary code on the server.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The vulnerability is remediated by enforcing a strict whitelist of allowed file extensions (txt, list, blocklist, csv) on the blocklist filename parameter before the file is processed. Any filename with an extension outside this whitelist is rejected with an error, preventing an attacker from placing files with executable or dangerous extensions (e.g., .php, .phtml) into the MISP export directory where they could be interpreted by the web server.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch or upgrade to a version newer than 2.5.47 that enforces a strict whitelist of allowed file extensions for blocklist uploads.
  • Configure the web server to refuse the execution of scripts or binaries in the MISP export directory, ensuring that any uploaded file is treated strictly as data.
  • If the blocklist workflow feature is not required, disable or remove it from the MISP configuration to eliminate the attack surface.
