Description
MISP contains an access control flaw in the EventReports functionality. The replaceSuggestionInReport action, which allows modification of suggestion content within an event report, was incorrectly mapped to the wildcard permission ('*') in the ACLComponent, making it accessible to any authenticated user regardless of their assigned permissions. All analogous report-modification actions correctly required the perm_add permission, while read-only actions such as downloadAsPDF appropriately used the wildcard. 

An authenticated user without the perm_add permission could invoke the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint to alter report suggestion data, violating the intended authorization model. 

This constitutes an improper authorization weakness that could lead to unauthorized modification of event report content, potentially corrupting shared threat intelligence data or injecting misleading information into reports relied upon by other analysts and automated consumers.

AI Analysis

Impact

An access control flaw in MISP EventReports allows any authenticated user to invoke the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint and modify suggestion content within event reports. The action was mistakenly mapped to the wildcard permission, so users lacking the explicit perm_add permission could alter reports. This breach of authorization permits the injection of misleading or corrupted threat intelligence into shared reports.

Affected Systems

MISP MISP product is affected. All versions that implement EventReports functionality prior to the fix are vulnerable. The patch implements ACL mapping changes; install the updated version or apply the committed change (commit 66aebfb1a). No specific version range is provided, so all current installations that have not applied the commit are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and KEV does not list the vulnerability. The vulnerability is exploitable by any authenticated user, as the endpoint is accessible without additional permissions. Because the flaw is on the server side, the attack does not require special network privileges. The risk is primarily to the integrity and confidentiality of shared threat intelligence, as unauthorized users can corrupt or mislead reports used by analysts and automated consumers.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The ACL mapping for the replaceSuggestionInReport action was corrected from the wildcard permission ('*') to the perm_add permission, aligning it with all other report-modification actions and ensuring that only users explicitly granted the add permission can invoke the action.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official patch that corrects the ACL mapping for replaceSuggestionInReport (commit 66aebfb1a).
  • Validate that only users with the perm_add permission can invoke the replaceSuggestionInReport action.
  • Audit existing user accounts to confirm that users without perm_add do not possess additional privilege that could circumvent the fix.
  • Monitor MISP logs for any attempts to use replaceSuggestionInReport by unauthorized users.
