Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in MISP when LDAP mixed authentication is enabled with OTP enforcement. In deployments configured with LdapAuth.mixedAuth=true and Security.require_otp=true, users authenticated through an authentication plugin, such as LDAP, may have their authenticated session established during the application beforeFilter phase before the normal login flow enforces the OTP challenge.
As a result, an attacker with valid primary authentication credentials could bypass the required OTP step by authenticating through the plugin-backed login flow and then directly accessing another application URL instead of completing the OTP verification page. This allows access to the application as the affected user without providing a valid TOTP, HOTP, or email OTP code.
The issue affects configurations where plugin-based authentication is enabled and OTP is expected to be mandatory. The fix ensures that OTP requirements are checked immediately after plugin authentication and before the user session is established, redirecting users to the appropriate OTP challenge when required.
AnalysisAI
OTP authentication bypass in MISP affects deployments where LdapAuth.mixedAuth=true is combined with Security.require_otp=true, allowing attackers with valid LDAP (or other plugin) credentials to skip the mandatory second factor. Because the plugin-driven login establishes the session during the AppController beforeFilter phase, an attacker can authenticate, ignore the /users/otp challenge page, and browse directly to any authorized application URL as the victim. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the MISP deployment to be configured with both LdapAuth.mixedAuth=true and Security.require_otp=true (or Security.email_otp_enabled), and the attacker must already possess valid primary credentials for an LDAP-backed user account that has OTP enabled on its MISP profile. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 4.0 scores this 8.2 (High) with AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H, reflecting a network-reachable, low-complexity bypass against an attack requirement (AT:P - a specific non-default configuration combination of mixedAuth and require_otp). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has phished, brute-forced, or otherwise obtained an LDAP user's primary credentials submits them to a MISP instance running with mixedAuth and require_otp enabled. The plugin authenticates the session during beforeFilter; instead of completing the /users/otp challenge, the attacker simply navigates to /events/index or /attributes/search and is served the requested page as the victim, accessing threat intelligence without ever providing a TOTP, HOTP, or email OTP code. |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available (commit 39b3cb15aac4318afdd2ab63b96c2eac12b271fe); a released patched version is not independently confirmed in the supplied data, so administrators should track the next MISP release that includes this commit or cherry-pick it from https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/39b3cb15aac4318afdd2ab63b96c2eac12b271fe into their deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all MISP instances where LdapAuth.mixedAuth=true and Security.require_otp=true are both enabled; immediately disable one of these settings (recommend disabling LdapAuth.mixedAuth if operationally feasible, or temporarily disabling OTP requirement). …
