Description
A typo in the MISP ACLComponent access control configuration caused the ACL rule for the previewEventAttributes action to reference the permission string 'theming_enabled*' (with a trailing asterisk) instead of the correct 'theming_enabled'. In the MISP ACL system, the array values define which role or permission grants access to a given controller action. The adjacent entry previewEventObjects correctly uses ['theming_enabled'], confirming the intended restriction. The malformed key 'theming_enabled*' does not match any valid permission identifier, causing the access control check for previewEventAttributes to malfunction. Depending on the ACL evaluation logic, this could result in either unauthorized users gaining access to the previewEventAttributes endpoint (authorization bypass) or legitimate users being denied access (availability impact). 

The previewEventAttributes endpoint exposes event attribute data within MISP so an authorization bypass could expose sensitive indicator and attribute data to users who should not have access.

AI Analysis

Impact

The ACLComponent contains a typo that causes the previewEventAttributes action to reference the permission string 'theming_enabled*' instead of the intended 'theming_enabled'. Because the malformed key does not match any valid permission, the authorization check for this endpoint can fail in a way that allows users without the correct permission to access the data or, depending on the ACL evaluation order, can deny legitimate users access. The endpoint exposes event attribute data, so an authorization bypass could expose sensitive indicators and attribute information to users who should not see them.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the MISP software product. No specific version information is listed in the CNA data, so all releases should be examined until a fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available, meaning we have no insight into the current probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector involves an authenticated user inside the MISP instance; a malicious or compromised user could exploit the ACL typo to read data. If access is denied for legitimate users, availability of the previewEventAttributes endpoint is also harmed. The exploitation requires only the presence of the malformed ACL configuration and does not rely on external network vulnerabilities.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The fix corrects the ACL permission key for the previewEventAttributes action from the malformed string 'theming_enabled*' to the correct 'theming_enabled', restoring the intended access control restriction so that only users holding the theming_enabled permission can invoke the endpoint, consistent with the adjacent previewEventObjects entry.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑issued patch that corrects the ACL key for previewEventAttributes
  • As a temporary measure, manually edit the MISP ACL configuration to replace the malformed 'theming_enabled*' key with the correct 'theming_enabled' value
  • After correcting the key, monitor access logs for anomalous use of previewEventAttributes and conduct an audit of the ACL entries to ensure no other typos exist
