Requires authenticated session (PR:L); straightforward upload endpoint (AC:L); no confidentiality or integrity impact per commit; repeated uploads cause disk exhaustion (A:H).

6DescriptionCVE.org
Affected versions of MISP allow any authenticated user to access TemplatesController::uploadFile() because the ACL entry for templates/uploadFile used the wildcard *. This bypasses the intended role restrictions applied to neighboring template-management operations.
The upload handler accepts arbitrary content with only minimal checks and writes it into app/tmp/files/. A low-privileged or read-only user can therefore repeatedly upload files and consume server disk space without requiring perm_add or perm_template. The fix changes the ACL requirement from * to perm_add.
The commit also rules out stronger impacts: uploaded files receive random names, path traversal/predictable overwrite is not available, the temporary directory is outside the web root, and the files are not directly served over HTTP. Therefore, the issue should not be described as arbitrary file overwrite, stored XSS, or RCE.
Version affected: ≤2.5.45
AnalysisAI
Disk-exhaustion denial of service in MISP ≤2.5.45 is exploitable by any authenticated user, including read-only accounts, due to a wildcard ACL entry ('*') on the TemplatesController::uploadFile() endpoint. The handler writes uploaded content to app/tmp/files/ without verifying that the caller holds the perm_add or perm_template role, allowing repeated uploads to consume server disk space. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid MISP user account at any privilege level, including read-only accounts that lack perm_add or perm_template. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 (VA:H, PR:L) accurately reflects bounded but real availability risk: repeated uploads can exhaust disk, degrading or halting MISP and co-located services. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update MISP to a release that includes commit 8e8885971 (https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/8e8885971), which changes the ACL entry for templates/uploadFile from array('*') to array('perm_add'). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all MISP instances on your network and determine their versions; if running version 2.5.45 or earlier, immediately restrict access to file uploads or disable the uploadFile endpoint pending patching. …
