Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Multiple MISP core controllers and model capture paths accepted client-controlled request fields such as primary keys (id) and ownership/scope foreign keys (event_id, org_id, user_id, sharing_group_id, galaxy_cluster_uuid, organisation_uuid, and related nested object identifiers) without consistently stripping, pinning, or revalidating them against the server-authorized object.
In affected paths, an authenticated user with access to one authorized object could submit crafted REST or form payloads that caused MISP to save data against a different object than the one checked by the authorization logic. Depending on the endpoint, this could allow object overwrite, object re-parenting, ownership transfer, unauthorized sharing-group scoping, event/object injection, proposal retargeting, or stored attacker-controlled content appearing in another user’s context.
The fixes harden affected create/edit/import flows by stripping client-supplied primary keys on create-only saves, re-pinning route- or database-authorized identifiers before save operations, validating effective sharing-group scope, and adding field whitelists where ownership fields must never be editable. The initial broad fix also added a central CRUDComponent::edit() primary-key re-pin so payload-supplied IDs cannot redirect saves away from the already-authorized row. GitHub’s patch for 7acf8220c describes this central issue as CRUDComponent::edit() copying supplied fields, including a payload primary key, onto the loaded record, allowing CakePHP save() to update an arbitrary row unless the loaded ID is re-pinned.
AnalysisAI
Insecure direct object reference flaws in MISP threat-intelligence platform allow an authenticated user with access to any one authorized object to overwrite, re-parent, or transfer ownership of objects belonging to other users or organizations by submitting crafted REST/form payloads containing attacker-chosen primary keys and ownership foreign keys. The root cause is CRUDComponent::edit() mass-assigning payload-supplied IDs (id, event_id, org_id, user_id, sharing_group_id, etc.) onto the already-loaded record, so CakePHP's save() updates a different row than the one the authorization check validated. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available and the high CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 reflects broad cross-tenant impact.
Technical ContextAI
MISP is an open-source threat-intelligence sharing platform built on CakePHP; multi-tenant data isolation depends on each controller loading the target row, checking the caller's permissions against that row, and then saving updates to only that row. The vulnerability is a textbook CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) caused by CakePHP's save() treating any 'id' (or scoping foreign key) present in the input array as the UPDATE target. Because multiple core controllers - including event, object, proposal, galaxy-cluster, and organisation import/edit paths - passed unfiltered request data straight into save(), the authorization layer validated row A while the database write landed on row B. The central fix in CRUDComponent::edit() captures the loaded record's primary key into $massAssignSafeId before save and re-pins it afterward, with companion commits adding field whitelists for ownership/sharing-group fields and re-pinning route-authorized identifiers across create and import flows. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:misp:misp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all MISP versions prior to the patched releases are in scope.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available (commits, not a tagged release announced in the input); released patched version not independently confirmed - administrators should pull the listed MISP/MISP commits (starting with 7acf8220cafac58bcfb362da37aca512fe4bb396 and the 14 companion commits referenced in the CVE) or upgrade to the next MISP point release that incorporates them, per https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/7acf8220cafac58bcfb362da37aca512fe4bb396. Until patched, compensating controls include restricting MISP user accounts to trusted personnel only, disabling REST API tokens for non-essential users (trade-off: breaks automation), placing the MISP web UI behind an authenticating reverse proxy with per-org IP allow-listing (trade-off: blocks legitimate federated sync if misconfigured), and increasing audit-log review on Event/Object/Proposal modifications and sharing-group changes to detect ownership-transfer abuse (trade-off: detective only, does not prevent exploitation). Avoid relying on user-role downgrades alone, since any authenticated edit-capable role is sufficient to exploit.
