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