MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires (1) an authenticated MISP account with permissions to create or edit workflow nodes - typically users assigned a workflow-capable role on a MISP instance with the Workflows feature enabled (PR:L), (2) a second victim user with workflow-viewing rights to visit the workflow execution path page that renders the malicious node, satisfying UI:R, and (3) the target instance running MISP < 2.5.28 with the default doT.js client-side rendering of executionPath.ctp. Exploitation is limited by the need for two distinct user actions (inject, then victim-view) and by deployments that have disabled workflows or restricted workflow-editing roles to administrators only.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.0) reflects a stored XSS where a low-privileged attacker (PR:L) abuses workflow-creation rights and waits for another user - typically an admin reviewing workflows - to load the page (UI:R), with scope change because injected script executes in the victim browser session and can pivot across MISP's authorization boundary. EPSS is not provided and the CVE is not on CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of mass exploitation; however, the franckferman GitHub repositories referenced in NVD strongly suggest publicly available proof-of-concept code, raising opportunistic risk for internet-exposed MISP instances. Real-world priority is high for any multi-tenant MISP deployment (community/sharing-group setups) where untrusted analysts hold workflow privileges, and moderate for single-tenant internal instances.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privileged MISP account that can create or edit workflow nodes inserts JavaScript into a workflow node's name or icon field; when an administrator later opens the workflow execution path view to inspect or debug the workflow, the payload executes in the admin's browser under the MISP origin. The attacker uses the hijacked admin session to exfiltrate threat-intel data, create new admin accounts, or pivot via MISP's REST API. Publicly available exploit code in researcher GitHub repositories reduces the skill required to weaponize this issue.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 22, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) versions before 2.5.28 allows authenticated users with workflow privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the workflow execution path view (executionPath.ctp), where doT.js template expressions used unescaped interpolation. Successful exploitation against a user who views the affected page (UI:R) results in scope-changed compromise of the victim's MISP session, including high-confidentiality/integrity/availability impact (CVSS 9.0). Publicly available exploit code exists in researcher-published repositories; no CISA KEV listing at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MISP 2.5.28 or later, which replaces unsafe doT.js {{=}} interpolation with HTML-escaped {{!}} interpolation in the workflow execution path template (fix commit https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/1f39deb572da7ecb5855e30ff3cc8cbcaa0c1054, release diff https://github.com/MISP/MISP/compare/v2.5.27...v2.5.28). If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict the workflow_user / site_admin roles to a minimum set of trusted operators so untrusted users cannot author workflow node metadata, audit existing workflows for suspicious icon/name fields, and consider deploying a Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts on the MISP UI - note this may break other MISP UI components that rely on inline script and should be validated in staging. As a last resort, disabling the workflows feature in config.php prevents access to the vulnerable view but removes legitimate automation functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MISP is an open-source threat intelligence sharing platform written in PHP (CakePHP) with client-side templating provided by doT.js. In doT.js, the {{=expr}} syntax performs raw, unescaped interpolation, while {{!expr}} HTML-encodes the value. The pre-patch executionPath.ctp template rendered workflow node attributes (icon, icon_class, icon_path, name) through {{=}}, so any attacker-influenced workflow metadata was injected verbatim into the DOM - a textbook CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) issue. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:misp-project:misp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all builds prior to 2.5.28.

DescriptionNVD

In MISP before 2.5.28, app/View/Elements/Workflows/executionPath.ctp allows XSS in the workflow execution path.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

MISP versions before 2.5.28 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in workflow features that allows authenticated users with workflow privileges to inject malicious code. When other users view the affected workflow pages, their browser sessions are compromised, granting attackers full access to their MISP data and permissions-directly threatening the confidentiality and integrity of your organization's threat intelligence infrastructure.
