Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
MISP contains a session fixation vulnerability in the CustomAuth authentication (a custom configuration) flow. When a user was successfully authenticated through CustomAuth, MISP stored the authenticated user identity in the existing session without first rotating the session identifier.
As a result, if an attacker can cause a victim to use a session identifier known to the attacker before authentication, that same session identifier remains valid after the victim successfully authenticates. The attacker could subsequently reuse the fixed session identifier to access the victim's authenticated MISP session, potentially gaining the privileges associated with the victim's account.
The issue occurs because __customAuthentication() wrote the authenticated user into the existing CakePHP session while the call to Session->renew() had previously been disabled. The patch restores session identifier rotation when a new authentication occurs or when the authenticated user changes, while avoiding unnecessary session renewal on every request.
AnalysisAI
Session fixation in MISP's optional CustomAuth flow lets an attacker who pre-plants a known session identifier silently inherit a victim's fully authenticated MISP session after the victim logs in, gaining all privileges of the victim's account including access to shared threat intelligence, event data, and administrative functions. The flaw is confined to deployments explicitly configured to use CustomAuth - standard authentication modes are unaffected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the MISP instance be explicitly configured to use CustomAuth - a non-default, administrator-selected authentication mode. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N, score 7.6) accurately captures the operational constraints: network-reachable but high attack complexity, a specific deployment requirement (AT:P - CustomAuth must be configured), and no availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to update MISP to a version incorporating commit e2eb2f058, available at https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/e2eb2f058. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all MISP instances to identify those configured with CustomAuth and establish patch staging in a test environment; simultaneously review recent session and access logs for signs of unauthorized activity. …
