MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at least viewer-level access to a specific conversion object within the cti-transmute application (CVSS PR:L confirmed). The vulnerable pathway is triggered only when accessing the Markdown or PDF evaluation report export endpoints. Exploitation is limited to information disclosure - private evaluation comments and comment author names - with no write or availability impact. The flaw does not affect users who lack any access to the target conversion, and it does not bypass the conversion-level access gate, only the comment-level privacy rules within an export. Unauthenticated attackers cannot exploit this vulnerability. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N) appropriately reflects a network-exploitable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-privilege authenticated access, with limited confidentiality impact. The SC:L (subsequent-system confidentiality) component in the vendor vector may account for the exposure of comment author identities, which are personal data with potential downstream privacy implications. No EPSS score was provided, and the absence of KEV listing and public exploit code suggests this has not been exploited at scale. However, the practical risk is non-trivial in threat intelligence sharing communities: cti-transmute is used in contexts where evaluation comments may contain sensitive analytical notes, attribution assessments, or personally identifying information about analysts, making confidentiality a meaningful concern even at CVSS Medium. The CVSS vector is consistent with the description - authenticated network access is required, and the impact is bounded to information disclosure with no integrity or availability component. No conflicts between data sources are apparent. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated user with viewer-level access to a conversion navigates to the evaluation report export endpoint and downloads the Markdown or PDF report. The exported document contains all evaluation comments, including private ones authored by other users or restricted to the conversion owner, along with each comment author's name - data the requesting user has no authorization to see. No exploit code or tooling is required beyond a standard authenticated HTTP request to the export endpoint. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026
Private evaluation comment disclosure in MISP's cti-transmute (all versions ≤ 1.4.0) allows any authenticated user with viewer-level access to a conversion to export its evaluation report as Markdown or PDF and obtain private comments that should have been restricted to the conversion owner, comment author, or an administrator. The root cause is a missing authorization check in build_evaluation_report(), which bypassed the same access-control logic enforced by normal comment retrieval. Leaked data includes comment content and author names. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; the fix is available as an upstream commit.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply the upstream fix from commit 5dbd19b39a61eab793586731f1a80d8c38907c42 (https://github.com/MISP/cti-transmute/commit/5dbd19b39a61eab793586731f1a80d8c38907c42). No independently confirmed tagged release version is available at time of analysis - operators should monitor the MISP cti-transmute repository for a versioned release incorporating this fix and upgrade as soon as one is published. As a compensating control pending a patch, operators can restrict access to the evaluation report export endpoints (export_evaluation_markdown and export_evaluation_pdf routes) at the web layer - for example via reverse-proxy ACLs - so that only conversion owners and administrators can reach those endpoints. The trade-off is that this breaks legitimate export functionality for all non-owner authorized viewers. Alternatively, disabling the Markdown and PDF export features entirely eliminates the exposure with no risk of incomplete filtering, at the cost of losing report export capability for all users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
cti-transmute (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:misp:cti-transmute:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a MISP-developed Python web application for converting and evaluating Cyber Threat Intelligence formats. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the report export pathway - specifically the build_evaluation_report() function in evaluate_core.py - was not passed the requesting user's identity and therefore could not invoke the shared access.can_see_comment() authorization gate. Normal comment retrieval in conversions_core.py correctly applied this gate, checking whether a conversion is public, whether a comment is private, and whether the requesting user is the conversion owner, the comment author, or an administrator. The export pathway silently skipped all of these checks. The fix, visible in commit 5dbd19b, refactors can_see_comment() into a canonical location (website/lib/access.py), passes the actor (current_user) into build_evaluation_report(), and filters each evaluation comment through access.can_see_comment() before including it in the exported report.

DescriptionCVE.org
Affected versions of cti-transmute fail to apply comment-level access-control rules when generating evaluation report exports. Although normal comment retrieval filters comments according to conversion visibility, comment privacy, ownership, authorship, and administrative privileges, build_evaluation_report() previously included all evaluation comments without applying those rules.
Consequently, a user who was authorized to view a conversion could export its evaluation report as Markdown or PDF and obtain private evaluation comments that should only have been visible to the conversion owner, the comment author, or an administrator. The leaked report data also contained the comment author's name. The fix passes the requesting user into the report builder and filters every evaluation comment using the shared access.can_see_comment() authorization function.
