Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated MISP account that does NOT hold the perm_add permission; the attacker invokes the replaceSuggestionInReport action in the EventReports functionality, which was erroneously mapped to the wildcard permission in ACLComponent. This affects default configurations of MISP versions prior to 2.5.47 (no special feature toggle needed), but exploitation is LIMITED to authenticated users of the instance - there is no unauthenticated path, and impact is bounded to modifying event-report suggestion content (integrity only, no read of restricted data and no availability impact).

Impact

This is a genuine but low-severity authorization flaw, not a high-priority emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (5.3, AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires an already-authenticated MISP user (PR:L), and impact is confined to integrity (VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) - no confidentiality or availability loss. The source-code diff corroborates the description exactly: ACLComponent mapped 'replaceSuggestionInReport' to the wildcard '*' rather than 'perm_add', so any authenticated account regardless of privilege could invoke it. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit are present in the input, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'; the realistic threat is an insider or a compromised low-privilege analyst account tampering with shared report content rather than mass automated exploitation. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag overstates the issue - this is post-authentication improper authorization (CWE-862), not an auth bypass. No signals conflict: vendor CVSS, description, and patch diff are mutually consistent.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privilege but authenticated MISP user (or an attacker who has phished/obtained such an account) who lacks the perm_add permission sends a request to the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint and alters suggestion content inside an event report. The tampered report then propagates misleading or corrupted threat intelligence to other analysts and automated downstream consumers. No public exploit code is identified, but the trigger is a single authenticated HTTP request against a mis-mapped ACL entry.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026

An authenticated user without the perm_add permission can modify suggestion content in MISP event reports via the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint, due to an ACLComponent wildcard mapping error fixed in MISP 2.5.47. The flaw is limited to authenticated instances, causes only low integrity impact to shared threat-intelligence report data, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; independent assessment rates it as a genuine but low-severity authorization flaw.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to MISP 2.5.47 or later; the vendor patch changes the ACL mapping for replaceSuggestionInReport from '*' to perm_add (commit https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/66aebfb1a). If immediate upgrade is not possible, apply the same one-line ACLComponent.php change manually as a temporary compensating control, recognizing that local core modifications can complicate future upgrades and must be reapplied or merged. Alternatively, restrict access to the EventReports modification API/UI to users who already hold perm_add, and monitor MISP audit logs for unexpected suggestion replacements; disabling the endpoint entirely would prevent abuse but removes legitimate suggestion-collaboration functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MISP is a PHP-based open-source threat intelligence sharing platform; the affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:misp:misp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-862 Missing Authorization: the EventReports replaceSuggestionInReport action was assigned the wildcard ACL permission '*' in app/Controller/Component/ACLComponent.php instead of perm_add, so any authenticated account passed authorization regardless of role. Comparable report-modification actions correctly required perm_add, while read-only actions such as downloadAsPDF appropriately used the wildcard. The endpoint alters suggestion data associated with event reports, so the security boundary is access control over report-integrity operations. This maps to CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N and CVSS:4.0 with PR:L, VI:L, and no confidentiality or availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

MISP contains an access control flaw in the EventReports functionality. The replaceSuggestionInReport action, which allows modification of suggestion content within an event report, was incorrectly mapped to the wildcard permission ('*') in the ACLComponent, making it accessible to any authenticated user regardless of their assigned permissions. All analogous report-modification actions correctly required the perm_add permission, while read-only actions such as downloadAsPDF appropriately used the wildcard.

An authenticated user without the perm_add permission could invoke the replaceSuggestionInReport endpoint to alter report suggestion data, violating the intended authorization model.

This constitutes an improper authorization weakness that could lead to unauthorized modification of event report content, potentially corrupting shared threat intelligence data or injecting misleading information into reports relied upon by other analysts and automated consumers.
