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

Exploitation Conditions

Three concrete conditions must all hold: (1) the MISP instance has email-based OTP login enabled (not the default for every deployment); (2) the attacker already possesses a valid, unexpired OTP for the target user, obtained via email interception or social engineering - the flaw cannot be triggered without this code; and (3) the attacker can issue two login POST requests within the narrow window between the OTP read/validate and its deletion. Limiting factors: AC:H reflects that the race window is small and timing-dependent, success only duplicates a session the OTP would already have granted, and impact is confined to low integrity (no confidentiality or availability loss).

Impact

This is a genuine but low-urgency issue. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N, score 6.3 Medium) is internally consistent with the description: AC:H correctly reflects that the attacker must win a narrow non-atomic read/validate/delete race in Redis, and the impact is limited to low integrity (VI:L/SI:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect. The most important mitigating signal is a precondition the raw vector understates - PR:N is technically accurate (the attacker holds no MISP account privileges) but exploitation requires already possessing a valid, unexpired OTP obtained out-of-band (email interception or social engineering), so this is not a standalone remote-unauthenticated compromise. No EPSS score was provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was identified; the only code artifact is the vendor's fix commit, not a weaponized POC. Net effect of a successful race is marginal - a single OTP yields two sessions rather than one - which does not meaningfully expand access an OTP holder would not otherwise obtain. Treat as a defense-in-depth hardening fix (patch in normal cycle), not an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has intercepted or socially engineered a victim's valid email OTP submits two MISP login POST requests simultaneously, racing the check-then-delete window so both reads see the still-present OTP before either deletion commits, yielding two authenticated sessions from one code. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis; the only available artifact is the vendor patch commit, and the high attack complexity (AC:H) makes reliable race-winning non-trivial.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026

Concurrent HTTP POST requests to MISP's email OTP login endpoint can both authenticate using the same one-time password, breaking the single-use guarantee and establishing duplicate sessions. Affected versions before 2.5.48 are vulnerable when email OTP login is enabled; exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a valid, unexpired OTP (via interception or social engineering) and to time two requests within the narrow race window. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, and the independent assessment rates this as a genuine but low-urgency integrity issue (CVSS 3.1 base 3.6, high attack complexity) because success merely duplicates a session the OTP already granted.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MISP 2.5.48 or later. The upstream fix is commit ba95e67d5, which makes OTP deletion atomic by requiring the Redis DEL to return 1 before allowing authentication. Until upgrading, disable email OTP login if it is not essential for your environment-this removes the attack surface but sacrifices that second-factor option. Alternatively, enforce strict rate limiting and concurrency controls on the OTP verification endpoint to constrain the race window; be aware that distributed attackers may bypass per-IP limits. Also shorten OTP lifetimes and monitor for duplicate concurrent OTP submissions from the same user/IP. Apply the patch as the primary action, as workarounds only reduce risk rather than eliminate the race condition. Advisory: https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/ba95e67d5

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is a race condition (CWE-362) in MISP's email-based OTP login flow, implemented in app/Controller/UsersController.php. The stored OTP is read from a shared Redis store, compared with hash_equals, and then deleted in separate, non-atomic steps. A second request arriving between validation and deletion can read the same OTP before the first request's delete takes effect, allowing both to pass. The vendor fix (commit ba95e67d5) requires that the Redis DEL operation return 1-meaning the calling request actually removed the key-before proceeding to create the session. CPE cpe:2.3:a:misp:misp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms all versions up to the fix are affected. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reflects unauthenticated remote access, high attack complexity due to timing, and low integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss.

DescriptionCVE.org

MISP contains a race condition in the email-based one-time password (OTP) login flow. When two HTTP requests carrying the same valid OTP are submitted concurrently, both can successfully authenticate and establish a session. The root cause is that the OTP value is read from the shared store, validated, and then deleted in separate non-atomic steps, allowing a second in-flight request to read the same value before the first request's deletion takes effect.

Preconditions:

  • The target MISP instance has email OTP login enabled.
  • The attacker possesses a valid, unexpired OTP (e.g., via email interception or social engineering).
  • The attacker can issue two HTTP POST requests in close temporal proximity.

Impact:

  • The one-time-use guarantee of the OTP is violated; a single code can yield two authenticated sessions.
  • This weakens the authentication control and may facilitate unauthorized access if the OTP is shared or intercepted.

Affected versions: <2.5.48

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
