Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated MISP account holding at least the sharing-group (SG) editor role plus network access to the MISP web interface (PR:L). The specific trigger is any request that reaches Organisation::captureOrg with the $force parameter set to true, which in the unpatched code overwrites organization metadata without verifying perm_site_admin or perm_sync. Limiting factors: this is NOT unauthenticated - it depends on the target having provisioned SG editor privileges to a lower-trust user, and impact is confined to integrity of organization records and derived sharing-group/blueprint configurations (no data disclosure or service disruption). Instances that restrict SG editor roles to fully trusted administrators face substantially reduced practical risk.

Impact

This is a genuine but low-severity integrity issue, not a top-priority emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network reachability with low attack complexity and no user interaction, but critically requires privileges (PR:L) - an authenticated user already holding a sharing-group editor role. Impact is narrow: vulnerable-system integrity only (VI:L, SI:L), with no confidentiality (VC:N) and no availability (VA:N) impact, which aligns with the description's 'primarily on the integrity of organization records.' No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The signals are internally consistent - there is no conflict between a network vector and the described web-interface access, and the moderate 5.3 score is a fair reflection of a privilege-gated, integrity-only authorization bypass. The Tags field mislabels this as 'Authentication Bypass'; it is actually an authorization/missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) - the attacker is already authenticated, so no authentication is bypassed. Real-world priority is modest: patch during normal cycles, prioritizing instances that delegate SG editor roles to lower-trust users.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated MISP user who has been granted a sharing-group editor role invokes the code path that calls Organisation::captureOrg with $force=true, causing organization metadata fields to be overwritten without the site-admin or sync privilege check that should gate them. By altering organizational attributes, the attacker influences how sharing groups and blueprints resolve organizations across the instance, corrupting shared threat-intelligence distribution. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires an existing low-privilege account on the target instance.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026

Authenticated MISP users holding at least a sharing-group editor role can overwrite organization metadata that should be reserved for site administrators or accounts with sync permissions, because Organisation::captureOrg applies the $force branch without checking perm_site_admin or perm_sync. The result is an integrity-only issue: organization records and the sharing-group and blueprint configurations derived from them can be altered, but no data disclosure or service disruption is possible and the attacker must already have a valid account with elevated (SG editor) privileges on the instance. Vendor fix code exists in upstream commit f3ec974ee, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream vendor fix, which is delivered as the code change in commit f3ec974ee (https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/f3ec974ee); the exact tagged release containing this change is not independently confirmed by the supplied data, so treat the commit as the authoritative fix marker and upgrade to the first MISP release that includes it. Until upgrading is possible, restrict assignment of the sharing-group editor role to fully trusted administrators, since the exploit path depends entirely on a lower-trust account holding SG editor privileges and instances that keep that role admin-only face substantially reduced practical risk. As a compensating detective control, audit and compare organisation records (and the sharing-group/blueprint configurations derived from them) against a known-good baseline on instances where non-admin users have SG editor rights, and consider temporarily revoking SG editor privileges from non-admin accounts - accepting that this limits legitimate sharing-group maintenance workflows for those users. Network exposure to the MISP web interface should also be constrained to trusted administrative networks as a general reduction of the attack surface, though this does not address the underlying authorization gap.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) is a PHP/CakePHP threat-intelligence sharing application, and the flaw sits in the Organisation model's captureOrg() method, which is used to create or update organisation records, typically during synchronization and data ingestion. The root cause is class CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): when the $force parameter is true, the method enters a code path that updates organization metadata fields with no validation that the caller's role carries perm_site_admin or perm_sync. The upstream patch simply tightens the guard to 'if ($force && (!empty($user['Role']['perm_site_admin']) || !empty($user['Role']['perm_sync'])))', confirming that the pre-patch branch was reachable by lower-privileged roles, notably a sharing-group (SG) editor. Because sharing groups and blueprints are built on organisational attributes, tampering with those records can propagate into the integrity of sharing-group configuration derived from them. The affected product is expressed in CPE as cpe:2.3:a:misp:misp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with no discrete version boundary published in the supplied data.

DescriptionCVE.org

MISP contains an authorization flaw in the Organisation model's captureOrg method. When the $force parameter is set to true, the method unconditionally overwrites organization metadata fields without verifying that the invoking user holds sufficient privileges. A user with a sharing group (SG) editor role can trigger this code path, allowing them to modify organization metadata that should be restricted to site administrators or users with sync permissions.

According to the commit message, this could lead to blueprint-based sharing group manipulation, meaning an attacker with SG editor access could alter organizational attributes in ways that influence how sharing groups and blueprints behave across the MISP instance.

The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with at least SG editor privileges and network access to the MISP web interface. The impact is primarily on the integrity of organization records and, potentially, on the integrity of sharing group configurations derived from those records.
