Misskey is an open source, federated social media platform. The patch for CVE-2024-52591 did not sufficiently validate the relation between the id and url fields of ActivityPub objects. An attacker can forge an object where they claim authority in the url field even if the specific ActivityPub object type require authority in the id field. Version 2025.2.1 addresses the issue.
AnalysisAI
Misskey, a federated social media platform, has an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-52591 that allows ActivityPub object forgery. An attacker can claim authority in the URL field even when the protocol requires authority in the ID field, enabling spoofing of federated content. Fixed in 2025.2.1.
Technical ContextAI
The ActivityPub protocol requires certain object types to have authoritative ID fields matching the originating server. Misskey's patch only validated IDs but not URLs (CWE-346), allowing an attacker to forge objects where the URL claims a different origin than the ID, bypassing origin validation.
Affected ProductsAI
Misskey before 2025.2.1
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Misskey 2025.2.1 or later. Instance administrators should review recent federated content for anomalies.
