MISP contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the UserSettingsController. The actions setTheme, setHomePage, and eventIndexColumnToggle were explicitly added to the Security component's unlockedActions list, which disabled all CSRF validation (both token and field-hash checks) for those endpoints. Because these endpoints accept POST requests and modify per-user application state (theme selection, default homepage URL, and event index column visibility), an attacker who can induce a logged-in MISP user to load a malicious page (e.g., via a crafted link, embedded image, or auto-submitting form) can forge requests that alter the victim's settings without their knowledge or consent. The most impactful action is setHomePage, which allows an attacker to redirect the victim's default landing page to an arbitrary attacker-controlled URL, potentially facilitating phishing or further social engineering. The setTheme action can alter the user's visual theme, and eventIndexColumnToggle can change which columns are displayed in the event index view. No authentication bypass is involved; the victim must already be authenticated to MISP. The vulnerability was reported by the Scottish Government National Cyber Team.
Version affected: ≤2.5.45
AnalysisAI
Cross-Site Request Forgery in MISP versions ≤2.5.45 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to silently modify settings of an already-authenticated MISP user by inducing them to load a malicious page. Three UserSettingsController endpoints - setTheme, setHomePage, and eventIndexColumnToggle - were placed on the Security component's unlockedActions list, completely disabling CSRF token and field-hash validation for those POST endpoints. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to be an actively authenticated MISP user with a valid browser session at the moment the forged request fires - the attack leverages the victim's existing session cookie and does not bypass authentication in any way. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 Medium with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately represents real-world risk. … 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 | Apply the upstream patch from commit 979337b18 (https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/979337b18), which modifies UserSettingsController.php to use `_csrfTokenHeaderOnly()` instead of `unlockedActions` for the four affected endpoints, and adds the X-CSRF-Token header to corresponding AJAX calls in global_menu.ctp, navbar.ctp (Overmind/UiBeta themes), and misp.js. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
