Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
An improper authorization vulnerability in MISP allowed an authenticated organization administrator to access or modify user settings belonging to site administrator accounts within the same organization. The affected access-control checks scoped administrative actions by organization membership but did not exclude higher-privileged site administrator users. As a result, an organization administrator could potentially view or alter site administrator user settings and related login profile information, crossing the intended privilege boundary between organization administration and site-wide administration.
The patch hardens the ACL logic by excluding site administrator accounts from organization administrator-managed user sets, adding explicit authorization failure when a target user is not administrable, and ensuring user setting and login profile operations fail closed.
AnalysisAI
Improper authorization in MISP permits an authenticated organization administrator to read or overwrite user settings and login profile data belonging to site administrator accounts that share the same organization. The ACL checks in UserLoginProfilesController, UserSettingsController, and the UserSetting model correctly scoped operations by org_id membership but failed to exclude users holding site-admin roles, allowing a lower-privileged admin to cross the intended privilege boundary. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must hold an active, authenticated organization administrator account (perm_admin role, not perm_site_admin) within the MISP instance - unauthenticated users and regular non-admin users cannot exploit this flaw. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N, score 5.1) accurately characterizes the constrained real-world impact: the PR:H requirement limits the attacker population strictly to users already possessing organization administrator credentials, which is a meaningfully privileged position that should not exist in untrusted hands. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An org admin with valid credentials to a MISP instance where a site administrator shares the same organization enumerates user IDs belonging to site admins - discoverable via the user listing available to org admins - then queries the user settings or login profile endpoints using those IDs. The pre-patch ACL passes because org_id membership is satisfied, returning the site administrator's login profile metadata or user settings, or allowing the org admin to overwrite them. … |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream patch at https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/ed3d9b862dea4c8c8e9b620a5ad99ce0c2c82154, which modifies UserLoginProfilesController.php, UserSettingsController.php, UserSetting.php, and User.php to exclude site-admin role holders from org-admin-managed user sets and enforce explicit authorization failures on unauthorized write attempts. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
