1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated MISP session (PR:L) plus knowledge of a valid identifier for a sharing group the attacker is NOT authorized to use. The attacker must send a PUT request to the collections/add endpoint rather than the expected POST, and must set distribution=4 (share with a specific sharing group). What LIMITS exploitation: a valid low-privileged account is mandatory (no unauthenticated path), the attacker must know or guess a target sharing-group ID, and impact is confined to improperly associating collection data with that group - no data read, code execution, or service disruption. No user interaction and no special tooling are needed. The condition is inherent to the affected MISP versions with no non-default feature toggle required.

Impact

This is a genuine but low-severity authorization flaw, not a high-CVSS scare. All signals agree on modest real-world risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N, base 5.3) correctly reflects an authenticated (PR:L), network-reachable, low-complexity bug with integrity-only impact and no confidentiality or availability loss - consistent with the CWE-862 missing-authorization classification and the source-code diff. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The one amplifying signal is that a vendor patch (MISP commit c20f5a836) already exists and the root cause is trivially understandable from the one-line diff, which lowers the barrier to weaponization - but the impact ceiling is bounded: an attacker can only mis-file collection data into a sharing group they lack rights to, not read others' data or execute code. Net: a real, patch-worthy access-control bug for MISP operators, but a routine-priority fix rather than an emergency. No signals conflict; the chief limitation is that all data derives from a single vendor/CIRCL source with no independent corroboration of impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated MISP user who knows the ID of a sharing group they are not authorized to use sends a PUT request (instead of the expected POST) to the collections/add endpoint, creating a collection with distribution=4 bound to that restricted sharing group. Because CRUDComponent::add() persists on both POST and PUT but the sharing-group usability check only ran on POST, the guard is skipped and the collection is exposed to all members of the unauthorized sharing group. No public exploit code exists, but the technique requires only a changed HTTP verb and no special tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026

Authenticated MISP users can bypass sharing-group authorization when creating collections by issuing a PUT request to the collections/add endpoint instead of the expected POST. Although the controller applies the sharing-group usability check only for POST, the underlying CRUDComponent::add() persists data on both verbs, letting a low-privileged account set distribution=4 and associate a collection with a sharing group it is not authorized to use. This is a low-severity authorization flaw (CWE-862) requiring a valid session and knowledge of the target sharing-group ID; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and there is no CISA KEV listing. The vendor fix is available in upstream commit c20f5a836.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor fix by updating to a MISP release that includes upstream commit c20f5a836 (https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/c20f5a836); if a release containing this commit is not yet available, apply the commit or vendor-provided patch directly. Because the exact patched version is not independently confirmed, verify with the vendor advisory before upgrading. If patching must be delayed, restrict or block PUT requests to /collections/add at the reverse proxy or web server while allowing POST, but note this may break legitimate clients that use PUT for collection creation; alternatively, disable the collections feature if it is not required. Additional monitoring for collection creations that use distribution=4 or unexpected sharing-group IDs can help detect attempted abuse. No public exploit code is identified, so urgency is lower than for actively exploited issues.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) is an open-source threat intelligence sharing application built on CakePHP. Collections are shareable MISP objects, and distribution=4 means the object is shared with a specific sharing group. The vulnerable code path is CollectionsController::add() in app/Controller/CollectionsController.php: it runs the sharing-group usability authorization check and element capture only when request->is('post'), but CRUDComponent::add() performs the persistence for both POST and PUT. A PUT to collections/add therefore skips the sharing-group guard and saves the collection with the attacker-supplied distribution and sharing group. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), specifically an HTTP-method-specific authorization check that does not cover all verbs accepted by the persistence layer. The upstream patch changes the guard to request->is('post') || request->is('put'), so PUT requests receive the same sharing-group validation as POST. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, and the provided CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3.

DescriptionCVE.org

In MISP, the CollectionsController add() method enforced the sharing-group usability authorization check and element capture only when the HTTP request method was POST. However, the underlying CRUDComponent::add() method persists data on both POST and PUT requests. As a result, an authenticated user could issue a PUT request to the collections/add endpoint, bypassing the sharing-group authorization check entirely. This allowed the creation of a collection with distribution=4 (shared with a specific sharing group) targeting a sharing group that the user was not authorized to use. The bypassed check would normally verify that the current user has access to the specified sharing group before allowing the collection to be associated with it.

The security impact is that an authenticated user can place collection data into a sharing group context they do not have legitimate access to, potentially exposing that data to all members of the unauthorized sharing group and violating the intended access-control boundaries of the MISP instance.

The vulnerability requires an authenticated session and knowledge of a valid sharing group identifier; no user interaction or special tooling is needed beyond sending a PUT request instead of a POST request to the same endpoint.
